No because the electronegativity difference between them is 1.4. In order for an ionic bond to occur, the electronegativity difference must be greater than or equal to 2.0.

A chlorine atom reacts with a sodium atom to form sodium chloride, NaCl. A chlorine atom can also react with another chlorine atom to form a chlorine molecule, Cl2. Which statement BEST explains the behavior of chlorine in these two reactions?
A chlorine atom can form ionic bonds by accepting an electron and covalent bonds by sharing electrons.
Does oxygen and chlorine form an ionic bond?
No, Oxygen forms covalent bonds
How many common bonds does chlorine have?
Chlorine usually forms ionic bonds with metals and covalent bonds with nonmetals,but it also forms coordinate bonds in some cases ,in HCl chlorine may form hydrogen bonding.
What bonds does calcium and chlorine have in common with hydrogen and nitrogen?
They do not have any bonds in common. Calcium and chlorine atoms form an ionic bond and hydrogen and nitrogen form a polar covalent bond.
Does sodium form a covalent transferring or ionic transferring or ionic sharing bond with chlorine?
Covalent bonds are between non-metals only. Ions in covalent bonds share electrons. Ionic bonds are between a non-metal and a metal and the ions transfer electrons. Sodium (Na) is a metal and chlorine (Cl) is a non-metal. Therefore, sodium and chlorine form an ionic bond, in which ions transfer electrons.
What type of bonds will the element chlorine form?
ionic and covalent
What kind of bond would chlorine make?
Chlorine can form both ionic and covalent bonds, with metals and non-metals respectively.
What is form ionic?
Ionic bonds are chemical bonds by positive ionic charge(normally hydrogen , metals +) and negative ionic charge(chlorine ,sulphur etc ) that bind to form compounds.

What kinds of bonds occurs when an atom of sodium joins an atom of chlorine to form sodium chlorine?
Sodium chloride has ionic bonds.
Is chloride an ionic bond?
Chloride is an ion that can form ionic bonds. Elemental chlorine is covalently bonded.
Does oxygen and chlorine form an ionic bond?
No, Oxygen forms covalent bonds
Do sodium and chlorine atom form a covalent bond?
No. Sodium can only form ionic bonds.
Is lithium polar covalent?
Lithium is a metal and would form ionic bonds - so extremely polar.
