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.

Besides their shape, how does a 2p orbital differ from a 3d orbital? chegg.
Blababa [14]

Answer:

The 3p orbitals have the same general shape and are larger than 2p orbitals, but they differ in the number of nodes. You have probably noticed that the total number of nodes in an orbital is equal to n−1 , where n is the principal quantum number. Thus, a 2p orbital has 1 node, and a 3p orbital has 2 nodes.

What is the final volume (l) of a 10.0 l system that has the pressure quartered?
mihalych1998 [28]
According to Boyle's Law, P1V1 = P2V2

where P1 and V1 are initial pressure and volume respectively. P2 and V2 are final pressure and volume receptively.

Given: P2 = 4 P1 and V1 = 10.0l

∴ V2 = 2.5 l

Answer: Final volume of system is 2.5 l
