In an ionic bond, one of the elements is a metal, the other a non metal. Sodium is underneath the classification of "alkali metals", whilst Nitrogen is a non metal. Therefore, the bond between these two elements is ionic. The formula would be Na3N.
Thanks. Very helpful.
The bond of which nitrogen forms depends on which element it is bonding with.
One nitrogen atom can form a covalent bond with another nitrogen atom to make a diatomic molecule: N2.
Yes, nitrogen easily forms a covalent bond with other nitrogen atoms.
A cation of magnesium,
Mg 2+
and an anion of oxygen,
O 2-
combine to form the ionic compound,
MgO
=======magnesium oxide.
it will form a covalent bond.
a covalent bond
Ionic
Yes, it contains both. The sodium forms an ionic bond with the one oxygen with a single bond (not double) with the carbon, becoming the cation (positive charge). This oxygen and all other atoms in the acetate form covalent bonds.
nitrogen can form an ionic bond
Since Sodium is metal and Nitrogen is Non-Metal, hence Metal and Non-Metal bond will form an Ionic Bond
Covalent because it has Tri as a prefix and it shares electrons.
No, but the bond in sodium chloride is covalent.
covalent
Nitrogen trichloride is a covalent compound.
Sodium chloride is ionic.
Ionic bond between sodium ions and hydroxide ions.
