Most metals. For example- Sodium, Copper, etc.
Sodium (Na) forms an ionic bond with chlorine (Cl) to create sodium chloride (NaCl). In this bond, sodium gives up an electron to chlorine, resulting in a positively charged sodium ion and a negatively charged chloride ion that are attracted to each other.
Calcium and chlorine would form an ionic bond when they combine to create calcium chloride. Calcium, being a metal, will donate electrons to chlorine, a nonmetal, resulting in the transfer of electrons and the formation of an ionic bond.
Covalent. There is no electronegativity difference between two atoms of the same element.
The bond between calcium and chlorine in calcium chloride (CaCl2) is considered ionic. This is because of the large electronegativity difference between calcium (1.0) and chlorine (3.16). The higher electronegativity of chlorine attracts the electron pair in the bond closer to itself, resulting in the formation of an ionic bond where chlorine gains electrons from calcium.
Covalent. Non-metals tend to share electrons
Sodium will bond ionically with chlorine to form sodium chloride (table salt). Sodium donates an electron to chlorine to achieve a stable octet structure, creating a strong ionic bond between the two elements.
Elements from Group 1 (such as sodium) and Group 2 (such as magnesium) would bond ionically with chlorine. Sodium would form NaCl (sodium chloride) and magnesium would form MgCl2 (magnesium chloride) through ionic bonds with chlorine.
Depends on the compound; chlorine can form an ionic bond with many elements. eg, NaCl, MgCl2, CsCl.
NaCl is ionic, but it is not a molecule. Molecules can only be covalent.
Chlorine typically ionic bonds with metals, so out of the options provided (Ni, Cu, Ga, Rb), it would most likely form an ionic bond with Rb (Rubidium), due to its lower ionization energy.
An ionic bond can form between an element with 11 protons (sodium) and an element with 17 protons (chlorine) to create sodium chloride (table salt). Sodium will donate an electron to chlorine, resulting in a stable arrangement of electronic configuration in both atoms.
Chlorine is not an example of a covalent bond in itself, but rather a chemical element that can form covalent bonds when it combines with another element. For example, when two chlorine atoms bond together to form chlorine gas (Cl2), they share electrons in a covalent bond.
Chlorine usually bonds ionically by gaining one electron.
SrCl2 : Strontium chloride, would be ionically bonded because a metal (strontium) is bonded to a nonmetal (chlorine).
K and Br would bond ionically, with potassium (K) donating an electron to bromine (Br) to form K+ and Br- ions, which are attracted to each other due to their opposite charges. This electrostatic attraction is what holds the two ions together in an ionic bond.
This bond is ionic.
A covalent bond; chlorine is found as Cl2.
