CaO because Ca is a metal and O is a gas and all the other possibillities are gasses combined and ionic has a metal and gas combination if you look at the Periodic Table of elements the right side is gases but they are determined by like a staircase and the rest are metals

Is Cl2 is held together by ionic bonding?

No, Cl2 is held together by covalent bonding. In Cl2, two chlorine atoms share electrons to form a stable molecule. Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of positively and negatively charged ions that are attracted to each other.


Is chlorine an ionic compound or a covalent compound?

Chlorine gas (Cl2) is covalent.


Is CL2 an expected ionic bonding?

The chlorine molecule is formed by two chlorine atoms. Any compound which is formed by the same non metal element is expected to be covalent.


Is CL2 ionic?

"I believe it is Ionic." Whoever said this is wrong, it's covalent (they share an electron from each atom to stabillise themselves) with an instantaneous dipole induced dipole intermolecular force.


Why is chlorine an ionic compound?

Chlorine is NOT an ionic compound. Chlorine is a gas composed of two atoms ' Cl-Cl ' ( Cl2) The bond between these two atoms is covalent. However, chlorine has a very strong electronegativity, which means there are seven electrons in its outer energy , and wants to complete the octet by accepting one final electron. This is named ' Electron Affinity '. Now a Group (I) metal will readily ionise , loose an electron . This 'lost' electron wants to find a new home, so by chlorines electron affinity , this 'lost' electron combines into chlorines outer energy shell to complete the octet. Hence giving the chlorine atom a (-1) charge ( Cl^(-) , and thereby it is now an anion. The Group (I) cation M^(+) and the chloride anion (Cl^(-) now combine ionically. As M^(+) + Cl^(-) = MCl NB Chlorine will combine with many non-metals in a covalent manner.


What compounds do not contain covalent compounds A. KF B. N2 C. CI4 D. HBr E. NO2?

A. KF contains ionic bonding, not covalent bonding. B. N2, D. HBr, and E. NO2 contain covalent bonds. C. Cl4 is not a valid compound; the correct formula is likely Cl2, which also contains covalent bonds.


Why are group 1 and seven elements normally used as part of a compound?

They very reactively form simple ionic products, called salts (di-ionic) Example: 2Na + Cl2 --> 2Na+Cl-


What is the compound of I2 and Cl2?

Cl2 stands for Chlorine.I2 stands for Iodine.


Which is a convalenly bonded molecule cl2 air ne nacl?

Cl2 is covalent. NaCl is ionic.


What is the ionic compound for calcium and chlorine?

We know that the alkaline earth metal calcium (Ca) and the halogen bromine (Br) form the ionic compound calcium bromide (CaBr2). Here's the reaction: Ca + 2Br => CaBr2


What is the metallic ion in copper 2 chloride?

+2 oxidation state


Which has polar covalent bonds Cl2 CaO N2 or SO2?

SO2 has polar covalent bonds due to differences in electronegativity between sulfur and oxygen atoms. Cl2, CaO, and N2 have nonpolar covalent bonds because the atoms have similar electronegativities.
