No, it is ionic


Does calcium phosphate have an ionic or covalent bond?

Calcium has both ionic and covalent bonds.


Is the bond between fluorine and calcium ionic or covalent?

Ionic


Is calcium fluoride a covalent bond?

Calcium fluoride is an ionic compound, not a covalent bond. Ionic compounds form when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in the attraction between oppositely charged ions, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms.


Do calcium and sulfur make a covalent bond?

No, calcium and sulfur do not typically form a covalent bond because calcium typically forms ionic bonds by donating its two valence electrons to sulfur, which is a nonmetal. Calcium and sulfur would form an ionic bond in a compound like calcium sulfide (CaS).


Is CaS a covalent bond?

No, CaS (calcium sulfide) is not a covalent bond. It is an ionic bond, formed between calcium (a metal) and sulfur (a nonmetal) resulting in the transfer of electrons from calcium to sulfur.


Is CaSO4 ionic or covalent bond?

No, it is Ionic.


Is calcium chloride an ionic bond or a covalent bond?

Calcium chloride forms an ionic bond. In this compound, the calcium atom transfers electrons to the chlorine atoms, resulting in the formation of positively charged calcium ions and negatively charged chloride ions, which are held together by electrostatic forces.


What bonds in calcium hydroxide CaOH2 are ionic and which are covalent?

In calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2), the bonds between calcium and hydroxide (OH) ions are ionic, while the bonds within the hydroxide ion (O-H) are covalent. Ionic bonds are formed between a metal and a non-metal, while covalent bonds are formed between two non-metals.


Is calcium nitride an ionic or covalent bond?

Calcium nitride has an ionic bond. Calcium, a metal, donates two electrons to nitrogen, a nonmetal, resulting in the formation of an ionic compound with a +2 charge on calcium and a -3 charge on nitrogen.


Is calcium dioxide a covalent or ionic bond?

As with all calcium compounds it is ionic. Though the proper chemical name is calcium peroxide in this case.


Is calcium acetate covalent or ionic?

Calcium acetate is ionic. It is formed when a calcium cation (Ca2+) and an acetate anion (C2H3O2-) bond together through ionic bonds, which involve the transfer of electrons.
