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.

6 moles of H2O is equal to how many molecules?
bagirrra123 [75]
A mole is equal to 6.02x10^23, so one mole of H2O has 6.02x10^23 water molecules. To get how many of them are in 6 moles you need to multiple it by six:
(6.02x10^23)x6= 3.612x10^24
So, there’s 3.612x10^24 water molecules in 6 moles of water
