Why is the bond of cesium chloride ionic?

Answer 1

== Caesium cadmium chloride (CsCdCl3) is a synthetic crystalline material. It belongs to the AMX3 group (where A== alkali metal, M=bivalent metal, X=halogen ions). It has a potential use as active laser medium, when doped with rare earth ions at single crystal structure. == == Caesium cadmium chloride (CsCdCl3) is a synthetic crystalline material.

Answer 2

Cesium chloride forms an ionic bond because cesium has a low ionization energy, allowing it to easily lose an electron to form a positively charged ion. Chlorine, on the other hand, has a high electron affinity, enabling it to gain an electron to form a negatively charged ion. The attraction between these oppositely charged ions leads to the formation of an ionic bond.

Answer 3

Since Cesium is an alkali metal its bonds are ionic...so it bonds ionically to bromine to form cesium bromide

Answer 4

As cesium is a group 1 element and has a relative charge of +1 whereas chlorine is group 7 and has a relative charge of -1 it would bond ionically so both elements have a full outer "shell".
