C represents Carbon, Cl represents Chlorine, therefore C-Cl represents Carbon Tetrachloride. The ionic structure is normally initiated automatically, however some times a little kick is needed (however Chlorine is highly reactive):
Carbon has 2 electrons on its innermost shell (2e) then it has 4e (which means it needs 4 to make a complete octet).
Carbon- 6 (6 electrons) + Chlorine 17 (17 electrons)
----------------------------------->
Carbon- 10 (charge 4-) + Chlorine 13 (charge 4+).
Chlorine now has 2e on its innermost shell, then 8e, then 3e.
the equation is incomplete because there are 3 electrons left on the outer shell for Chlorine. so if we double it:
2 Carbon- 6 + 2 Chlorine 17 -> 2 Carbon- 10 (4-) + 2 Chlorine 13 (4+)
this leaves 6 electrons spare for Chlorine so we double it again:
4 Carbon- 6 + 4 Chlorine 17 -> 4 Carbon- 10 (4-) + 4 Chlorine 13 (4+)
this leaves us with 12 spare electrons.
12 spare electrons can be shared equally with 3 Carbon to give them all a full outer shell thus: 7 Carbon + 4 Chlorine -> Carbon Tetrachloride (4X Chloride).
CCl is a covalent compound because it is formed by sharing electrons between the carbon and chlorine atoms. Ionic compounds are typically formed between a metal and a nonmetal, where electrons are transferred rather than shared.
CCl (carbon tetrachloride) is a molecular compound because it consists of covalent bonds between the carbon and chlorine atoms, resulting in a non-metallic compound.
Ionic bonding is an example of intramolecular bonding, where electrons are transferred between atoms to form ions that are held together by electrostatic forces.
No, CaCl2 is not an example of ionic bonding. It is an ionic compound resulting from the bonding between calcium (a metal) and chlorine (a nonmetal). Ionic bonding occurs between a metal and a nonmetal, where electrons are transferred from one atom to another to form ions.
NaCl is an example of ionic bonding. Sodium (Na) donates an electron to chlorine (Cl), forming positively charged sodium ion and negatively charged chlorine ion that are held together by electrostatic forces.
CCl is a covalent compound because it is formed by sharing electrons between the carbon and chlorine atoms. Ionic compounds are typically formed between a metal and a nonmetal, where electrons are transferred rather than shared.
Ionic bonding is based on electrostatic attraction between ions.
Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons. Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons.
Ionic and covalent bonding involve electrons. Ionic bonding involves the loss and gain of electrons, form ions. Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons.
CCl (carbon tetrachloride) is a molecular compound because it consists of covalent bonds between the carbon and chlorine atoms, resulting in a non-metallic compound.
