What forms a bond with chlorine?
A covalent bond also occurs in Cl2. In the chlorine molecule, the two chlorine atoms are attracted to the same pair of electrons….Covalent Bonds.
Atom | Valence |
---|---|
Chlorine | 1 |
Iodine | 1 |
Oxygen | 2 |
Sulfur | 2 |
Which elements would most likely form an ionic bond?
A pair of elements will most likely form an ionic bond if one is a metal and one is a nonmetal. These types of ionic compounds are composed of monatomic cations and anions.
What element will form covalent bonds with chlorine?
So what happens is that each chlorine shares one electron with the carbon and the carbon shared one electron with each of the chlorines (that’s 4 total). The end result is four covalent bonds between the carbon and the chlorines.
How is chlorine molecule formed?
Chlorine (Cl2) molecule is formed by sharing of electrons between two chlorine atoms.
Is Ca and Cl ionic or covalent?
The ions are held together by ionic bonds, which form an ionic compound. Ionic compounds generally form between elements that are metals and elements that are nonmetals. For example, the metal calcium (Ca) and the nonmetal chlorine (Cl) form the ionic compound calcium chloride (CaCl2).
Is Cl and Br likely to form ionic compounds?
not likely to form an ionic bond. a. Cl and Br both are in the second to last column (nonmetals), so that means they have a very strong electronegativity charge. They only need one more electron to complete a full outer ring.
Which elements are most likely to form compounds?
Option a (Ca and Br) is the correct answer. Binary ionic compounds are formed from a metal element and a nonmetal element. Calcium (Ca) is metal as it’s found on the left side of the periodic table in group 2A. Bromine (Br) is a nonmetal as it is found on the right side of the periodic table in group 7A.
Who is a perfect ionic partner for chlorine?
There is a very strong attraction by the chlorine atom on an outside electron which is needed to complete its shell. Sodium and chlorine are therefore a perfect match. Sodium has one electron it is not holding onto very strongly, and chlorine is looking for one more electron to steal to fill its shell.
What type of bond is carbon and chlorine?
Carbon and chlorine react to form carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) by covalent bonding. Carbon contains four electrons in its outermost shell and chlorine contains seven electron in its outermost shell.
What type of bond does hydrogen and chlorine make?
covalent compound
In a Lewis structure of a covalent compound, the shared electron pair between the hydrogen and chlorine ions is represented by a line. The electron pair is called a bonding pair; the three other pairs of electrons on the chlorine atom are called lone pairs and play no direct role in holding the two atoms together.
How is the bond of Cl2 different from the bond of NaCl?
In Cl2 the two chlorine atoms bond with each other by sharing a pair of electrons. AND • In NaCl an electron is transferred from a sodium atom to a chlorine atom OR ions negative and positive are formed when sodium and chloride combine.
