Answer: It’s true
Explanation:
Answer:
Sodium Chloride has Ionic bond while Hydrogen Chloride has covalent bond.
Explanation:
Na has 11 electrons (2, 8, 1) and need to give away 1 electron to be stable
Cl has 17 electrons ( 2, 8, 7) and needs 1 electron to be stable.
Na transfers 1 electron to CL to form Ionic bond.
While
Hydrogen has 1 electron and shares with Chlorine to be stable.
Covalent bond involves sharing.
Ionic compounds generally occur between metals and non-metals due to their large electronegativity difference. You can simple go down Group 1 and Group 17 of the periodic table.
Examples:
NaCl (Sodium Chloride)
KCl (Potassium Chloride)
RbCl (Rubidium Chloride)
CsCl (Cesium Chloride)
