"I believe it is Ionic."
Whoever said this is wrong, it's covalent (they share an electron from each atom to stabillise themselves) with an instantaneous dipole induced dipole intermolecular force.
No, Cl2 is held together by covalent bonding. In Cl2, two chlorine atoms share electrons to form a stable molecule. Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of positively and negatively charged ions that are attracted to each other.
The element chlorine at standard temperature and pressure is molecular and has the formula Cl2.
The chlorine molecule is formed by two chlorine atoms. Any compound which is formed by the same non metal element is expected to be covalent.
An example of an ionic equation is: NaCl(s) -> Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) This equation shows the dissociation of solid sodium chloride into its ions sodium and chloride in an aqueous solution.
The ionic equation for the reaction between aqueous chlorine and aqueous sodium bromide is: Cl2(aq) + 2NaBr(aq) -> 2NaCl(aq) + Br2(aq)
Cl2 is covalent. NaCl is ionic.
Chlorine gas (Cl2) is covalent.
No, Cl2 is held together by covalent bonding. In Cl2, two chlorine atoms share electrons to form a stable molecule. Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of positively and negatively charged ions that are attracted to each other.
NaCl is an ionic solid with a high boiling point. Cl2 is held together by weak dispersion forces and is a gas at room temperature. That means Cl2 has already boiled and formed a gas at a temperature lower than room temperature.
The element chlorine at standard temperature and pressure is molecular and has the formula Cl2.
They very reactively form simple ionic products, called salts (di-ionic) Example: 2Na + Cl2 --> 2Na+Cl-

The bond in the diatomic chlorine molecule Cl2 is a covalent bond where electrons are shared between atoms. In sodium chloride NaCl, the bond is an ionic bond where electrons are transferred from sodium to chlorine, resulting in the formation of positively and negatively charged ions that are attracted to each other.
Chlorine, Cl2 is covalent. Any molecules which consist of two atoms of the same element must be covalent. In compounds with other elements chlorine can form ionic or covalent compounds.
Cl2 is a covalently bonded molecule because it is composed of two nonmetal atoms that share electrons. Air is a mixture of gases, with nitrogen and oxygen being the main components, and these are also covalently bonded molecules. Neon is a noble gas and exists as individual atoms, not molecules. Salt is an ionic compound composed of a metal and a nonmetal held together by ionic bonds.
