Explanation:

When a chemical bond is formed by sharing of electrons then it is known as a covalent bond.

A covalent bond is always formed between two non-metals.

For example, atomic number of chlorine is 17 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 7.

As a result, it needs one more electron to complete its octet. So, when it chemically combines with another chlorine atom then there will occur sharing of electrons.

Hence, $Cl_{2}$ is formed which is a covalent compound.

On the other hand, when a chemical bond is formed by transfer of electrons from one atom to another then it is known as an ionic bond. An ionic bond is always formed between a metal and a non-metal.

For example, LiCl is an ionic compound.

Thus, we can conclude that in a chlorine gas covalent bonding is present when two chlorine atoms share an electron.

Why is carbon ideal for making different compounds?

In-s [12.5K]

Carbon is the only element that can form so many different compounds because each carbon atom can form four chemical bonds to other atoms, and because the carbon atom is just the right, small size to fit in comfortably as parts of very large molecules.

mr Goodwill [35]

<span>0.0750 M Na3PO4 as this solution would contain 3 Na+ and 1 PO4- ions per mole of Na3PO4 for an effective total ion concentration of 4 x .0750 or .300 M. The K2SO4 has three total ions or a concentration of .300 M as well. Hope it helps. </span>

The equation below represents a double replacement/displacement reaction;

Naddik [55]

AB+XY->AY+XB
We know that the answer would be KCl because of the switching that takes place during a double displacement reaction. Just like Zn and MnO4 switched and combined, the remaining elements, K and Cl, will combine.
We know that the answer is simply KCl because both K and Cl have an ion of only +/-1, meaning when they cross, no suffixes are made, since their ions are only 1.
For example, if you combined Mg with Cl, you would get MgCl2, because Mg has an ion of +2.
I hope this helps!
