PCl3 would not be ionic because is isn't between a metal and a non metal. Thus, it would be predominantly covalent. It has a trigonal pyrimidal shape, and is POLAR. So, the answer is
polar covalent.

Is PCI3 a covalent or ionic bond?

PCI3 forms a covalent bond because it involves the sharing of electrons between the phosphorus and the three chlorine atoms. In an ionic bond, electrons are transferred from one atom to another, leading to the formation of charged ions.


What bond is formed between reactants?

it depends on the reactant. and the bond could be colvalent, ionic, coordinate, hydrogen bond or a mixture of these.


What is the diffrencees between a colvalent bond and ionic bond?

the difference is thatcovelent bonds share electrons, thus creating bonds, the only reason they share electrons so that they can get full outer shells. Ionic bonds like....They bond between two different things, like a non metal, and a metal


What type of bond is magnesium sulfate?

If it's a non-metal and non-metal, it is a colvalent bond. If it's metal and non-metal or metal and metal, then it is ionic. Magnesium Sulfate (MgSO4 / Magnesium + Sulfate) is IONICbecause it is a metal and non-metal but it has a convalent bond in it, which is SO4 (Sulfur + Oxygen).

How does bonding work in chemistry?

There are many types of chemical bonds. An ionic bond is a chemical bond in which an electron is transfered from one atom to another. The atoms are then held together by opposite elctric charges. A colvalent bond in a chemical bond in which an electron is shared between two atoms. Also reference van der waals forces and hydrogen bonding.
