Predict the reaction between chlorine and potassium astatide?
Cl2 + 2KAt arrow 2KCl +At2 Chlorine + Potassium Astatide arrow Potassium Chloride + Astatine This happens because Chlorine is more reactive than Astatine so the chlorine displaces the Astatine to produce Potassium Chloride and Astatine.
Why do sodium and chlorine bond in the ionic way?
The difference in electronegativity between sodium and chlorine is the reason.
If a combination reaction takes place between potassium and chlorine what is the product?
Potassium chloride
How do you know that a bond between magnesium and chlorine will be ionic?
The difference in electronegativity between the two atoms is above 1.7, Magnesium is a metal, and chlorine is a nonmetal.
What element has more protons than chlorine but fewer than potassium?
Argon, atomic number 18, since it is between chlorine and potassium on the Periodic Table of Elements.

What type of bond would you expect to be formed between sodium and chlorine?
Typically, a metal and a nonmetal will form an ionic bond. You can also go by electronegativity. The difference in electronegativity can be used to predict the type of bond between atoms. Elements with electronegativity differences between 1.6 and 2.0 form ionic bonds if a metal is involved. Elements with electronegativity differences of 2.0 or greater form ionic bonds.
Why do sodium and chlorine bond in the ionic way?
The difference in electronegativity between sodium and chlorine is the reason.
Would K and Cl form a polar covalent bond?
Potassium(K) and Chlorine(Cl) combine to form Potassium Chloride (KCl). An ionic bond is formed between the potassium atom and the chlorine atom.
How does fluorine's electronegativity compare to the electronegativity of oxygen and chlorine?
Fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen and chlorine. There are many scales used to measure electronegativity. Each is different. Oxygen and chlorine usually have an electronegativity value between 3.2 and 3.5 depending on the scale. Fluorine has an electronegativity of 4, the highest number on the scale. This means that the difference in electronegativity of fluorine and oxygen or chlorine is between 0.5 and 0.8 depending on the scale. This is the amount necessary to form a polar covalent bond.
Comparison between the electronegativity of chlorine and nitrogen?
FONCl (pronounced fonkle) - the order of electronegativity - F O N Cl - fluorine, oxygen, nitrogen, chlorine
If a combination reaction takes place between potassium and chlorine what is the product?
Potassium chloride
How do you know that a bond between magnesium and chlorine will be ionic?
The difference in electronegativity between the two atoms is above 1.7, Magnesium is a metal, and chlorine is a nonmetal.
Is the bond between carbon and chlorine a polar covalent?
yes, the difference in electronegativity is .5
What is the chemical formula for the compound formed between potassium and chlorine?
KCl
What element has more protons than chlorine but fewer than potassium?
Argon, atomic number 18, since it is between chlorine and potassium on the Periodic Table of Elements.
Is the covalent bond between chlorine atoms in a molecule of chlorine gas polar?
No. Bonds between atoms of the same element are nonpolar. The electronegativity difference between the two atoms is zero, which indicates that the bond is nonpolar.
