Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: There are certain compounds that contain both ionic and covalent bonds. An ionic bond is a chemical bond between two atoms, where one atom donates its electron to another atom. On the other hand, the covalent bond has a better electron configuration due to the involvement of two atoms sharing electrons.
Detailed explanation-2: -Binary Ionic Compounds Containing a Metal and a Nonmetal. A diatomic compound (or diatomic molecule) contains two atoms, which may or may not be the same. Cl2 Not binary (only one type of atom), but diatomic (two atoms).
Detailed explanation-3: -An ionic bond is formed between a metal and a non-metal.
Detailed explanation-4: -Ionic bonds form only between metals and nonmetals. That’s because metals “want” to give up electrons, and nonmetals “want” to gain electrons. It takes energy to remove valence electrons from an atom and form a positive ion. Energy is released when an atom gains valence electrons and forms a negative ion.
