It is ionic bonding because Na is sodium which is a metal and Cl is chlorine which is a nonmetal. Ionic Bonding happens between nonmetals and nonmetals.

Does covalent bonding occur between salt like Na Cl?

No, covalent bonding does not occur between ions like Na+ and Cl-. In the case of sodium chloride (NaCl), ionic bonding occurs where electrons are transferred from sodium to chlorine, resulting in the formation of an ionic compound.


Does NaCl bond ionically or covalently?

NaCl is ionic, but it is not a molecule. Molecules can only be covalent.


What are the similar  between ionic and covalent bonding?

Ionic and covalent bonding involve electrons. Ionic bonding involves the loss and gain of electrons, form ions. Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons.

Where can an atom needing electrons to fill the outer shell find them?

from covalent bonding or ionic bonding.covalent bonding where two elements will share electrons eg.two hydrogen atoms or ionic bonding where a positively and negatively charged ion combine like in NaCL


Is NaCl a covalent or ionic?

NaCl is a ionic because here transfer of electron takes place


What are types of chemical bounding?

There are two basic types of chemical bonding: Ionic bonding and Covalent bonding. Ionic bonding occurs between a metal and a non-metal (i.e. Na + Cl --> NaCl) Covalent bonding occurs between two non-metals (i.e. H2 + O2 --> 2H2O)


What is the similarities of an ionic bond and an covalent bond?

In ionic bonding electron are transfer whereas in covalent bonding their is sharing of electron
