Covalent Bond
A covalent bond holds fluorine and hydrogen atoms together in a molecule of hydrogen fluoride (HF). This bond involves the sharing of electron pairs between the atoms.
They are held together by an electrostatic force causing an ionic bond.
The two atoms share their electrons - so it is a covalent bond ie a shared pair.
Ionic bond holds the atoms together in a calcium chloride molecule. It forms when calcium, a metal, transfers electrons to chlorine, a nonmetal, to achieve a stable electron configuration. This results in the attraction between the positively charged calcium ion and the negatively charged chloride ions.
Potassium chloride (KCl) is a compound formed when K transfers an electron to Cl. What kind of bond holds KCl together?
The polar covalent bond between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms holds it together.
A covalent bond holds fluorine and hydrogen atoms together in a molecule of hydrogen fluoride (HF). This bond involves the sharing of electron pairs between the atoms.
a hydrogen bond holds two atoms of hydrogen together.
Sodium chloride has ionic bonds.
Covalent bond.
hydrogen bonds
This is a strong ionic bond.
They are held together by an electrostatic force causing an ionic bond.
The two atoms share their electrons - so it is a covalent bond ie a shared pair.
Ionic bond holds the atoms together in a calcium chloride molecule. It forms when calcium, a metal, transfers electrons to chlorine, a nonmetal, to achieve a stable electron configuration. This results in the attraction between the positively charged calcium ion and the negatively charged chloride ions.
Hydrogen chloride molecules are held together by a polar covalent bond. This bond forms when the chlorine atom and the hydrogen atom share electrons unequally, with the chlorine atom hogging the electrons more than the hydrogen atom.
Table salt, or sodium chloride, is formed by the ionic bonding between a sodium ion (Na+) and a chloride ion (Cl-) rather than a hydrogen bond. This type of bonding involves the transfer of electrons between the atoms, resulting in an electrostatic attraction that holds the ions together in a crystalline structure.
