Does sodium form a covalent transferring or ionic transferring or ionic sharing bond with chlorine?
Covalent bonds are between non-metals only. Ions in covalent bonds share electrons. Ionic bonds are between a non-metal and a metal and the ions transfer electrons. Sodium (Na) is a metal and chlorine (Cl) is a non-metal. Therefore, sodium and chlorine form an ionic bond, in which ions transfer electrons.
Can a chlorine atom only form one ionic bond?
Yes
What type of chemical bond is Calcium Nitrate?
Calcium a nd nitrate are ions so they form only ionic bond.
What ion will sodium form?
Sodium is a non-transition metal so it can only form one type of ion, that is Na+ or Na+1. It loses it's only valence electron to a nonmetal so that it can assume a noble gas configuration and be at its most stable state.
Is sodium tripolyphosphate a ionic compound?
Short answer both ionic and covalent! The bond between the sodium (metal) and phosphate (PO43-) (nonmetal) is ionic. The bonds between the phosphorous (nonmetal) and the oxygen (nonmetal) atoms are all covalent. The trick is to treat a covalent compound (PO43-, CO32-, etc) as grouped together when balancing charges, looking for ionic bonds, etc.
Do sodium and chlorine atom form a covalent bond?
No. Sodium can only form ionic bonds.
Is NaCl is it both a ionic and covalent bond?
No - sodium chloride is ONLY an ionic compound.
Elements of what pairs form ionic bonds between them when combined-a.sodium and chlorine b.carbon and hydrogen c.chlorine and chlorine d.nitrogen and hydrogen?
Only sodium and chlorine will form ionic bond. the other pair given here will form covalent bond
Does NaCl bond ionically or covalently?
NaCl is ionic, but it is not a molecule. Molecules can only be covalent.
Does sodium form a covalent transferring or ionic transferring or ionic sharing bond with chlorine?
Covalent bonds are between non-metals only. Ions in covalent bonds share electrons. Ionic bonds are between a non-metal and a metal and the ions transfer electrons. Sodium (Na) is a metal and chlorine (Cl) is a non-metal. Therefore, sodium and chlorine form an ionic bond, in which ions transfer electrons.
Can three atoms form ionic bond?
Only two different atoms with opposite electrical charge can form an ionic bond.
How many electron are transferred in the ionic bond between sodium and chlorine NaCl?
Only one, from sodium to chlorine.
What pair is most likely to form a covalent bond lithium and iodine sodium and oxygen calcium and chlorine copper and tin or carbon and oxygen?
Carbon and oxygen are the only pair in that list that will form a covalent bond; the others will form ionic bonds, except for copper and tin which will form a metallic bond.
What kind of bond forms a molecule?
Only covalent bonds form a molecule. Ionic bonds form an ionic compound.
Can a chlorine atom only form one ionic bond?
Yes
An ionic bond will form only if the sum of the energy changes is?
exothermic
Is ozone a ionic bond or a covalent bond?
Ozone forms covalent bonds. Ionic bonds form only between metals and non-metals.
