What type of bond is in sodium?

Answer 1

This question doesn't make sense. For a bond to form, you must have a compound such as NaCl. To determine the number of bonds, the Lewis structure must be drawn. It is a single bond, so that means that the bond type is a sigma bond.

A second opinion:

The questioner may be asking about the bonding in sodium metal. The bonding in metals is, not surprisingly, referred to as metallic bonding. The "free" electrons are delocalized and can move easily through the metal, allowing for electrical and heat conduction.

Answer 2

Sodium has an ionic bond. It forms an ionic bond with other elements, such as chlorine, to create the compound sodium chloride (table salt). Sodium readily loses its outer electron to become a positively charged ion, while the element it bonds with gains an electron to become a negatively charged ion.

Answer 3

sodium and oxygen bond ionically, to make sodium oxide - the sodium transfers 2 electrons (one from each atom) to the oxygen atom (because sodium atoms (Na) have one electron in each outer shell). Each sodium atom becomes posititvely charged - (+) - and the oxygen atom becomes negatively charged - (2-).

Answer 4

There is metallic bonding in sodium metal. Metallic bonding can be described as the electrostatic forces of attraction between the positively charged metal cations and the sea of mobile delocalised electrons. The structure of metals is termed giant metalic structure.

Answer 5

ionic: silver is a metal and iodine is a non metal, meaning that it is an ionic bond.

Answer 6

I don't have a clue ........ That is why i asked you ....... !

Answer 7

Ionic bond - Bonding between a metal and non-metals

Answer 8

its ionic bond , because its bond between metal and non-metal
sodium is a metal and oxygen is a non-metal
so bonding between metals and non-metals called ionic bond

Answer 9

sodium nitride, Na3N

This is an ionic bond between a metal and a non-metal

Answer 10

Ionic Bonding
