Question

which kind of bond would occur between sodium (na, group ia) and chlorine (cl, group viia) (1 point) metallic ionic covalent no bond

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Sodium (Na) is a Group 1A metal that readily loses one electron, while chlorine (Cl) is a Group VIIA nonmetal that readily gains one electron. The transfer of an electron from Na to Cl creates oppositely charged ions, which are attracted to each other via an ionic bond. Metallic bonds occur between metals, covalent bonds involve electron sharing between nonmetals, and "no bond" is incorrect as these elements form a stable compound.

Answer:

ionic
