When a transition metal reacts with chlorine, what types of bonds are formed between the two elements? a) ionic bonds b) covalent bonds c) transition bonds d) no bonds are formed.

Answer : The correct option is, (A) ionic bonds

Explanation:

Ionic bond : It is defined as the bond that is formed by complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another atom.

That means, the atom which looses the electron is known as electropositive atom and the atom which gains the electron is known as electronegative atom.

The ionic bond is usually formed between a metal and a non-metal.

Covalent bond : It is defined as the bond which is formed when sharing of electrons takes place between the atoms.

This is usually formed between two non-metals.

When a transition metal reacts with chlorine then they form ionic bond because transitions metals are metal and chlorine is a non-metal. So, transition metal and chlorine will form an ionic bond.

Hence, the correct option is, (A) ionic bonds

explanation: it gains negative electrons, therefore becoming negatively charged. as charge cannot be created, nor destroyed, only transferred, this leaves the wool positive. now that they have opposite charges, the two items attract.

the positions which points up in upward carbon and down in downward carbon are axial

and vice versa holds true for equatorial positions

so the correct answer with labelled diagram will be
