Among the elements listed, silicon is most likely to form covalent bonds. (Silicon is in the same Periodic Table column as carbon, which is the most likely of all atoms to form covalent bonds.)

Is the element silicon likely to form ionic or covalent bonds. why?

Silicon is an element in group 14. It has four valence electrons. Silicon tends to share electrons rather than releasing or obtaining four electrons (which needs tremendous energy). Hence it forms covalent bonds.


Which of these elements are most likely to form covalent bonds silicon oxygen chlorine or sulfur?

silcon has the lowest electronegtaivity so would most likely form covalent bonds. Sulfur is next (although with group1 and 2 metals it forms ionic compounds) oxygen and chlorine have high electronegativites so form many ionic compounds - however they also form covalent compunds as well.


What kind of bonds is the element silicon likely to form?

Silicon is likely to form covalent bonds due to its position in the periodic table, where it has four valence electrons. This allows silicon to share electrons with other elements to achieve a full outer shell of eight electrons, similar to carbon. Additionally, silicon can also form ionic bonds with elements that can accept its electrons.


How many chlorine atoms would a silicone atom need to form with it so that the silicone is stable?

A silicon atom does not typically form covalent bonds with chlorine atoms. Silicon is more likely to form bonds with oxygen atoms to create silicon dioxide (SiO2) or silicates. These compounds are stable due to the strong bonds formed between silicon and oxygen atoms.


What type of bond that will form between Si S?

A covalent bond will likely form between silicon (Si) and sulfur (S) atoms. In a covalent bond, atoms share electrons to achieve stability. Silicon and sulfur are both nonmetals with similar electronegativities, making them more likely to form covalent bonds.


What is the chemical bond for silicon dioxide?

Silicon is a chemical element that has atomic number 14, symbolize as Si and less reactive because it is a tetravalent metalloid. It belongs to the covalent bond because it is unlikely to make an Ionic bond with the other elements.


Which atoms will likely form a covalent bond with the atoms of chlorine?

Atoms on the Right Hand Side of the periodic table - Carbon, Phosphorous, Chlorine itself etc


Is chlorine more likely to be a metal or a nonmetal?

Chlorine is definitely a non metallic element.


Which elements most readily accepts electrons silicon or sulfur or chlorine or phosphorus?

Chlorine most readily accepts electrons among silicon, sulfur, chlorine, and phosphorus. Chlorine is a halogen and has a high electron affinity due to its high electronegativity, making it more likely to accept electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Silicon, sulfur, and phosphorus are nonmetals with varying electron affinities but are generally less likely to accept electrons compared to chlorine.


Is silicon chloride a polar bond?

Yes it does. The electronegativity difference between silicon and oxygen is significant enough to make the bond polar. However, silicon dioxide is technically a non-polar molecule, although it is not a likely compound due to silicon's larger atomic radius and its inability to easily form pi-bonds with oxygen.


What type of bond will sulfur and chlorine?

Sulfur and chlorine will likely form a covalent bond, where they share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. This is because sulfur and chlorine are both nonmetals and tend to form covalent bonds with each other.


What are likely to form a covalent bond aluminum and oxygen sulphur and oxygen magnesium and chlorine copper and copper?

Sulfur oxides are covalent compounds.
