With no doubt, this type of bond would be ionic.

An ionic bond is when we transfer electrons. This means that the atoms would gain a charge.

Na+Cl- would be the resulting compound because:-

Na (sodium) loses : which means it would GAIN a positive charge.

Cl (chlorine) gains: which means it GAINS a negative charge.

This would be an ionic bond.  Ionic bonds form between metals and nonmetals due to the relatively large different in electronegativities where nonmetals are more electronegative than metals.  This difference in electronegativities makes it so that the metal gives up the electron to make an octet and the nonmetal gains the electron to make an octet (there is no sharing of the electron).  The metal becomes a cation while the nonmetal becomes a anion and their opposite electric charges keep them together.

I hope this helps let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.

Genetic equilibrium is the state in which allele frequencies do<br> not change in a<br> Check it
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Genetic equilibrium is the state in which allele frequencies do

not change in a generation over generation.

Explanation:

Genetic equilibrium can be described as a situation which arises when a certain allele or genotype remains constant for a species generation over generations. Genetic equilibrium can be maintained if no external factors like mutations affect the population of the species. The phenomenon of natural selection and evolution need to be stopped if a genetic equilibrium is to be maintained. Hardy-Weinberg theorem is the mathematical depiction of genetic equilibrium.

When atmospheric pressure decreases, the mercury height in a barometer
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Decreases

Explanation:

The atmospheric pressure on the surface of the mercury pushes it up the evacuated tube until the downward pressure of the mercury equals the atmospheric pressure.

If the atmospheric pressure decreases, the mercury doesn't have to rise as high.

The mercury height decreases.

What is the percent composition in chloric acid (HClO3)?
Nuetrik [128]
Total weight = 1 + 35.45 + 3 * 16 = 84.45

H = 1 / 84.45 * 100% = 1.18%
Cl = 35.45 / 84.45 * 100% = 41.98%
O = 48 / 84.45 * 100% = 56.84%
