What would a chlorine atom tend to do in bonding with another atom to form an ionic compound and why?

The most common bounds chlorine accepts are with Alcaline metals. They have only one valence electron, which chlorine would gladly steal so that his last orbital becomes full of electrons. This way both become stable, and they would form a very strong ionic compound.

1. The ionic compound made from aluminum and chlorine has the formula AlCl3. Explain in detail why it is the correct formula?
ionic bonding
What type of bonding is in the compound Chloride?
Chlorine can be involved in both ionic and covalent bonding. As it is a chloride, I would believe it to be a ionic bond, as a covalent bond would state the number of chloride atoms, e.g. dichloride.
What is the formula of the ionic compound formed between magnesium and chlorine?
The ionic compound formed between magnesium and chlorine has the formula MgCl2.
Binary ionic compound zinc and chlorine?
Zinc and chlorine react to form the binary ionic compound zinc chloride, which has the formula ZnCl2.
Is BaF2 a ionic or covalent bond?
Barium fluoride is a compound, not a bond. It has ionic bonding.
1. The ionic compound made from aluminum and chlorine has the formula AlCl3. Explain in detail why it is the correct formula?
ionic bonding
Does the compound LiCL have ionic or covalent bonding?
LiCl has ionic bonding. (There is no compound with a formula LiCL.)
What is a compound with ionic bonding?
ionic compound eg: NaCl
Is chlorine oxide ionic or compound?
Chlorine oxide would be a covalent compound, and not an ionic compound.
If sodium and chlorine bonded together what would be the chemical formula of the new compound it is a ionic or covalent bonding?
The new compound is called "sodium chloride", has the formula NaCl, and has ionic bonds.
What type of bonding is in the compound Chloride?
Chlorine can be involved in both ionic and covalent bonding. As it is a chloride, I would believe it to be a ionic bond, as a covalent bond would state the number of chloride atoms, e.g. dichloride.
Is NaCl ionic bonding or covalent bonding?
It is ionic bonding because Na is sodium which is a metal and Cl is chlorine which is a nonmetal. Ionic Bonding happens between nonmetals and nonmetals.
Why is chlorine an ionic compound?
Chlorine (Cl2) is not an ionic compound. It is a covalently bonded element. Chlorine can form ionic compounds like NaCl (Sodium Chloride) or CaCl2 (Calcium Chloride) but is not itself an ionic compound.
What is the bond type of an ionic compound?
ionic bonding
Is CL2 an expected ionic bonding?
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.
What bond is between sodium and chlorine?
ionic bonding
What is the type of bonding in the compound sodium chloride?
ionic bonding
