Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The type of bonding (ionic (or) covalent) in lithium chloride
Concept Introduction:
Ionic bonds: An ionic bond is formed by combination of a metal and a nonmetal. Ionic bonds formed by the transfer of electrons from one element to other.
Example: The bonds in
Covalent bonds: A covalent bond is formed by combination of two nonmetals (or) by combination of a nonmetal with a metalloid. It is formed by sharing of electrons between two atoms.
Example: The bonds in
