What is the nature of the Ca-Cl bond in a molecule of calcium chloride (CaCl2) if the electronegativity value of calcium is 1.0

and that of chlorine is 3.16?

Ca-Cl is an ionic bond. We know this because the difference between their electronegativities is 2.16.The electronegativity tells us which atom will attract the electron more than the other. Hence, chlorine attracts the electron a lot more than the calcium.A difference of more than 1.6 (or 1.7 depending on the source) implies that the electrons are so unevenly shared, that the bond is ionic, rather than polar covalent.

Featured snippet from the web
A solution is made when one substance called the solute "dissolves" into another substance called the solvent. Dissolving is when the solute breaks up from a larger crystal of molecules into much smaller groups or individual molecules.

How do you determine whether a molecule is polar? select all that apply. select all that apply. determine whether the polar bond
Llana [10]
<span>Answer:

The two basic steps to determine whether a molecule is polar are:
</span>
<span><span>1)  determine whether the molecule contains polar bonds? </span>

2) determine whether the polar bonds add together to form a net dipole moment.

Explanation:

The fundamental requirement is that there are polar bonds. Polar bonds are covalent bods with dipole moments. Dipole moments are the result of two atoms of different electronegativity sharing electrons. The more electroneative atom pulls the electrons with more strength than the other atom which is what generate the dipole moment.

If the molecule is symmetrical, and the dipole moments are place symmetrically they wil cancel each other and the molecule will not be polar. For example, the molecule of CCl4 has four C - Cl bonds each with dipole moment, but they are loacates symmetrically around the C atom, so they will cancel each other resulting in a zero net sum of dipole moments, being the molecule non-polar.
