Examples of ionic and covalent bonds?

Ionic bond example: Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl) form an ionic bond in sodium chloride (NaCl) by transferring an electron from sodium to chlorine. Covalent bond example: Hydrogen (H) and Oxygen (O) form a covalent bond in water (H2O) by sharing electrons between the two atoms.


Does NaCl bond ionically or covalently?

NaCl is ionic, but it is not a molecule. Molecules can only be covalent.


Is table salt a result of a covalent bond?

No, table salt (sodium chloride) is a result of an ionic bond, not a covalent bond. Ionic bonds are formed between a metal and a non-metal, while covalent bonds are formed between two non-metals, where they share electrons. Sodium chloride forms as a result of sodium (a metal) losing an electron to chlorine (a non-metal).


Is NaCl polar covalent?

To classify a bond as polar or covalent, you must first find the Electronegativity difference. The electronegativity of Na is 0.93 and Cl is 3.16. Therefore we find the electronegativity difference by subtracting: 3.16 - 0.93= 2.23. Therefore NaCl is an ionic bond. For electronegativity differences >1.7, the bond is ionic. For electronegativity differences between 0.4-1.7, the bond is polar covalent For electronegativity differences < 0.4, the bond is non-polar covalent.
