In general ionic bond occurs between chemical elements whose difference in electronegativity is the highest, for example between alcaline metal and non-metal, so?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
D
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
sorry, D is an organic molecule, there are all covalent bonds there in
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hmmm

Na is an alcaline metal?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i dont know..
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
yes it is, remember please all chemical elements apearing in the leftmost column of the periodic table are called "alcaline metal"
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
Cl is a non-metal?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok

yno

no*
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
Cl is a non-metal, remember, please all chemical elements that appearing to the right of periodic table are all non-metal, except the element in the rightmost column. Those elements are called "noble gases"
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
reassuming: Na is an alcaline metal, and CL is a non-metal, so bond between them is?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
What do u mean by that

I'm asking you if the chemical bond between Na and Cl is ionic, using all that I said before
OpenStudy (anonymous):
b then?
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
it is C?
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
your answer is C! NaCl is an ionic compound because chemical bond between Na and Cl is ionic
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
