No, this is an ionic compound, as calcium is a metal and bromine is a non-metal. A good rule to remember for the future is that elements to the left of the "staircase" on the Periodic Table are metals (except for Hydrogen, a non-metal)and elements to the right are non-metals, while those bordering the "staircase" are metalloids. A metal will always bond with a non-metal in an ionic bond. Covalent bonds occur when two non-metals "share" electrons. You can also judge a compound's bonding type based on its electronegativity difference, but judging by the simplicity of the question that has just been asked, you will likely learn that at a later point of your education in chemistry anyway, and an explanation would be redundant.

What type of bond would carbon tetrachloride and calcium bromide have?

Carbon tetrachloride and calcium bromide would have an ionic bond. Carbon tetrachloride is a covalent compound with no net charge, while calcium bromide is an ionic compound with a metal and nonmetal. The difference in electronegativity between calcium and bromine results in the transfer of electrons, creating an ionic bond.


Is copper bromide a covalent bond?

No, copper bromide does not have a covalent bond. Copper bromide typically forms an ionic bond due to the large electronegativity difference between copper and bromine atoms.


Does calcium nitride have a covalent bond?

No, it is ionic


Does calcium phosphate have an ionic or covalent bond?

Calcium phosphate ) Ca3(PO4)2 The calcium cations are ionically bonded to the phosphate anions. 3Ca^(2+) + 2PO4^(3-) The calcium cations have an overall charges of 3 x 2(+) = 6(+) This '6+' MUST be balanced against a '6-' charge on the phosphate anions. Hence we have 2 x -3 =-6 , to balance the charges. However, with in the phosphate anion the four oxygen atoms are covalently bonded to the phosphorus atom. This leaves three 'spare' electrons for ionic bonding to the calcium cation.


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.


Is Calcium bromide a ionic bond?

Yes, calcium bromide is formed by an ionic bond. Calcium, a metal, donates electrons to bromine, a nonmetal, resulting in the formation of positively charged calcium ions and negatively charged bromide ions, which attract each other through electrostatic forces to form a stable ionic compound.


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 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.
