Ionic bonds are formed when there is complete transfer of valence electrons between two atoms.
Electronegativity tells the trend of an atom to atract electrons.
You should search for the complete set of rules that indicate whether an ionic or covalent bond happens.
There are two relevant rules to state if whether an ionic bond will happen:
- When the difference of electronegativities between the two atoms is greater than 2.0, then the bond is ionic.
- When the difference is between 1.6 and 2.0, the bond is ionic if one of the elements is a metal.
You need to list the electronegativities of the five elements (there are tables with this information)
Element electronegativity
Cu: 1.9
H: 2.2
Cl 3.16
I: 2.66
S: 2.58
Differences:
Cu / S: 2.58 - 1.9 = 0.68
H / S: 2.58 - 2.2 = 0.38
Cl / S: 3.16 - 2.58 =0.58
I / S: 2.66 - 2.58 = 0.08
Those differences are too low to consider that the bond is ionic.
Then the answer is that none of those atoms forms an ionic bond with sulfur.
Answer:
yes it is ( From +3 to 0 )
Explanation:
If this is the balanced equation:
AlCl3 + 3Na ——> 3NaCl + Al
Al Cl 3Na Na Cl Al
+3 -3 0 +1 -1 0
Ionization energy is the energy required to remove the
outermost electron from one mole of gaseous atom to produce 1 mole of gaseous
in to produce a charge of 1. The greater the ionization energy, the greater is
the chance f the electron to be removed from the nucleus. In this casse, Radium
has the largest ionization energy.
First one is reactants and then second one is products
