CL
WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN YOU MIX Cl (Chlorine) with Na (Sodium)
YOU GET AN IONIC BOND
What do you get when you mix H (Hydrogen) with O (Oxygen)?
You get a covalent bond Two H share electrons with one O to make water (H₂O). It's polar covalent.
What do you get when you mix Na (Sodium) with Cl (Chlorine)?
You get an ionic bond Sodium chloride (NaCl), table salt. Na⁺ and Cl⁻ hold each other in a crystal
What do you get when you mix C (Carbon) with H (Hydrogen)?
You get a covalent bond Methane (CH₄). Carbon shares electrons with four hydrogens.
What do you get when you mix Si (Silicon) with O (Oxygen)?
You get a covalent bond Silicon dioxide (SiO₂) is a network covalent solid: quartz and sand
What do you get when you mix Cl (Chlorine) with Cl (Chlorine)?
You get a covalent bondCl₂. Two identical atoms share electrons equally, so it's nonpolar covalent.
What do you get when you mix H (Hydrogen) with Cl (Chlorine)?
You get a covalent bond Hydrogen chloride (HCl), a polar covalent bond. Dissolved in water, it becomes hydrochloric acid.
What do you get when you mix Na (Sodium) with O (Oxygen)?
You get an ionic bond Sodium oxide (Na₂O). It takes two Na to give O the 2 electrons it wants
What do you get when you mix K (Potassium) with F (Fluorine)?
You get an ionic bond Potassium fluoride (KF). A reactive metal gives its electron to the most electronegative element.
What do you get when you mix Ca (Calcium) with F (Fluorine)?
You get an ionic bond Calcium fluoride (CaF₂), the mineral fluorite. One Ca²⁺ for every two F⁻.
What do you get when you mix Cl (Chlorine) with H (Hydrogen)?
You get a covalent bond Hydrogen chloride (HCl). They share electrons, but Cl pulls harder, so it's polar covalent.
What do you get when you mix H₂O (Water) with H₂O (Water)?
You get a hydrogen bond The H on one water molecule is pulled toward the O on the next. It's a force between molecules, not a bond inside one.
What do you get when you mix Na (Sodium) with Na (Sodium)?
You get a metallic bond Sodium atoms share a “sea” of loose electrons. That's why sodium metal conducts electricity.
What do you get when you mix Fe (Iron) with Fe (Iron)?
You get a metallic bond Iron atoms held together by shared, free-moving electrons. That's the bond in steel beams.
What do you get when you mix Cu (Copper) with Zn (Zinc)?
You get a metallic bond Brass. Copper and zinc share one sea of electrons, like any metal alloy
What do you get when you mix Cl (Chlorine) with Mg (Magnesium)?
You get an ionic bond Magnesium chloride (MgCl₂). Mg gives away 2 electrons, one to each Cl.
What do you get when you mix HF (Hydrogen fluoride) with HF (Hydrogen fluoride)?
You get a hydrogen bond F is the most electronegative element, so H–F···H–F makes some of the strongest hydrogen bonds there are
What do you get when you mix Na (Sodium) with H (Hydrogen)?
You get an ionic bond Sodium hydride (NaH). Na becomes Na⁺ and hydrogen becomes H⁻, the hydride ion
What do you get when you mix Mg (Magnesium) with O (Oxygen)?
You get an ionic bond Magnesium oxide (MgO). Mg gives up 2 electrons and O takes both.
What do you get when you mix CH₃OH (Methanol) with CH₃OH (Methanol)?
You get a hydrogen bond Methanol's O–H group lets the H on one molecule stick to the O on the next.
What do you get when you mix CHCl₃ (Chloroform) with C₃H₆O (Acetone)?
You get a hydrogen bond Chloroform's three Cl atoms pull electrons away from its H, making that H positive enough to hydrogen-bond to acetone's O.
What do you get when you mix H (Hydrogen) with Li (Lithium)?
You get an ionic bond Lithium hydride (LiH). Here hydrogen takes an electron and becomes H⁻, the hydride ion
What do you get when you mix Na (Sodium) with K (Potassium)?
You get a metallic bond NaK alloy. These two metals mix into a liquid metal at room temperature
What do you get when you mix NH₃ (Ammonia) with NH₃ (Ammonia)?
You get a hydrogen bond The H on one ammonia molecule is attracted to the lone pair on the next molecule's N.
What do you get when you mix Al (Aluminum) with Cl (Chlorine)?
You get a covalent bond Surprise! It's a metal plus a nonmetal, but AlCl₃ is mostly covalent because the small Al³⁺ pulls chlorine's electrons back toward itself.
