Question

part 2 (1 point) are any of the bonds formed between the following pairs of atoms ionic? choose one or more: c and cl p and f o and h ca and cl b and h

Explanation:

Step1: Recall ionic bond concept

Ionic bonds form between a metal and a non - metal due to large electronegativity differences.

Step2: Analyze each pair

• C and Cl: Both are non - metals, form covalent bond.
• P and F: Both non - metals, form covalent bond.
• O and H: Both non - metals, form covalent bond.
• Ca and Cl: Ca is a metal, Cl is a non - metal, form ionic bond.
• B and H: Both non - metals, form covalent bond.

Answer:

Ca and Cl
