Predict the nature of the bond between a potassium atom and chlorine atom. The electronegativity of K is 0.8 and Cl is 3.0?

The bond between potassium (K) and chlorine (Cl) is ionic because the electronegativity difference between them is large (2.2). Potassium will donate its electron to chlorine, forming K+ and Cl- ions that are attracted to each other by electrostatic forces, creating an ionic bond.


The Cl-Si-Cl bond angle in the SiCl2F2 molecule is approximately?

The Cl-Si-Cl bond angle in SiCl2F2 is approximately 109.5 degrees, which corresponds to a tetrahedral molecular geometry around the silicon atom. This angle is due to the repulsion between the bonding pairs and lone pairs of electrons around the silicon atom.


What bond is found in the compound NaCI?

If you meant Na + Cl, it would be forming salt which has an ionic bond. I'm not familiar with CI (Carbon Iodide) or NaCI (sodium carbon iodide) - I'm not sure it will even form a stable molecule.


If sodium has one electron in its outer shell and chlorine has seven in its outer shell will they have an ionic tranferring bond or an ionic sharing bond?

they would actually have a covelant transferring bond. that was probably supposed to be one of the choices you put, right?-this is incorrect. a covalent bond is formed when the electrons of atoms are shared. In this case, the valence electron of the sodium(NA) is transferred to the chlorine(Cl) atom, then the opposite charges are attracted. this is an ionic bond and this is how sodiumchloride is formed.**this is an ionic bond.


Is potassium iodine an ionic or covalent bond?

Yes! K's atomic number is 19 and wants to become more stable if it was 18 so it wants to give up an electron so it is K+. CL's atomic number is 17 and would become more stable if it were 18 so it wants to gain an electron so it can be CL-. K and CL are now ions hence Ionic Bond.
