Chlorine has seven valence electrons. It can form a bond with two atoms of Magnesium (two valence electrons). Is this an example

of an ionic or covalent bond? Explain your reasoning by comparing both types of bonds. Is each atom gaining, losing, or sharing electrons?

Answer:

The answer to your question is Ionic bonding. Magnesium loses 2 electrons and Chlorine gains 1 electron

Explanation:

An Ionic bond is formed between a metal and a nonmetal and the difference of electronegativity is higher than 1.7. In this type of bond, metals lose electrons and nonmetals gain them.

Covalent bonding is formed between two nonmetals and the difference of electronegativity is between 0 and 1.7. Elements share electrons.

Process

Electronegativity of Mg = 1.31

Electronegativity of Cl = 3.16

Difference = 3.16 - 1.31

                  = 1.85

          1.85 > 1.7 then the bond formed is Ionic

Magnesium loses 2 electrons and Chlorine gains 1 electron

patriot [66]

Answer:

Check explanation section.

Explanation:

Isotopes are chemical species of the same elements with different number of neutrons but the same protons.

Both Chlorine-35 and Chlorine-36 are the same because they are both isotopes of the same elements that is Chlorine. Also, both Chlorine-35 and Chlorine-36 have the same number of protons which has the value equal to 17.

The difference between Chlorine-35 and Chlorine-36 is that Chlorine-35 is stable and has the abundance of 75.77% whole Chlorine-36 is found in trace.

Also Chlorine-35 has a neutrons value of 18 while that of Chlorine-36 is 19.
