Ionic. The metal will donate electron(s) to the halogen that will accept electrons. NaCl, for example.

What kind of bond does a halogen and an alkaline earth metal make?

alkaline earth metal forms a +2 cation and halogen forms a -1 anion alkaline earth metal is a metal and halogens are non metals therefore the bond between them is ionic


What kind of chemical bond is formed by transfer of electrons between alkali metal and halogen?

ionic bond


What is the differenec between an inonic bond and a covalent bon?

An ionic bond is formed when electrons are transferred between atoms, resulting in the attraction between oppositely charged ions. A covalent bond is formed when atoms share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Ionic bonds typically occur between a metal and a nonmetal, while covalent bonds usually occur between two nonmetals.

Why does the halogen group usually make ionic bonds?

easier to gain electron from alkali metal than sharing with non-metal for covalent bond


How is covalent bond different from an ironic bond?

A covalent bond is a bond between a non-metal and another non-metal, and shares electrons, while an ionic bond is a bond between a non-metal and a metal and, instead of sharing electrons, they form ions.


What two atoms does an ionic bond occur between?

An ionic bond forms between a metal atom and a non-metal atom. The metal atom loses electrons to become a positively charged ion (cation) and the non-metal atom gains those electrons to become a negatively charged ion (anion).


How do you tell if a bond is covalent?

A bond is covalent if electrons are shared between atoms to form a stable molecule. Covalent bonds typically occur between nonmetals and involve the sharing of electrons to achieve a full outer electron shell. Characteristics of covalent bonds include the formation of molecules, low melting and boiling points, and poor electrical conductivity.
