A chemical bond that involves the transfer of electrons from a metal to a nonmetal and thus forms ions and the atoms in the molecule are attracted towards each other through electrostatic force of attraction are said be ionic bond. In short, the bond formed between the two oppositely charged ions.

In salt, the compound formed between sodium and chlorine is sodium chloride having molecular formula NaCl where sodium is a metal and chlorine is the non-metal. The formation of the compound takes place by transfer of an electron from sodium thus forming a cation of formula Na^{+} to chlorine which gains electron and thus results in an anion formation having formula Cl^{-}. The force of attraction between these oppositely charged ions that helds them together and results in formation of NaCl compound is electrostatic force of attraction.

Hence in salt, the nature of bond between sodium and chlorine is ionic.

Potassium metal and chlorine gas combine in a reaction to produce an ionic compound. What is the correct balanced equation for t
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

2K (s) + Cl₂ (g) ⇒ 2KCl (s)

Explanation:

Potassium and chlorine gas combine to form potassium chloride which is an ionic compound. The reaction is a type of combination reaction in which chlorine is being added to the metal, potassium.

Potassium reacts violently with the chlorine which is yellowish green in color to produce white solid of potassium chloride.

The balanced reaction is shown below as:

2K (s) + Cl₂ (g) ⇒ 2KCl (s)

Water vapor is condensed steam. <br><br> True <br> False
adelina 88 [10]

False, because water vapor, water vapour or aqueous vapor, is the gaseous phase of water. It is one state of water within the hydrosphere. Water vapor can be produced from the evaporation or boiling of liquid water or from the sublimation of ice. Unlike other forms of water, water vapor is invisible.
