Question

The element chlorine (Cl) is in group 7A of the periodic table. What type of bond would form between two chlorine atoms?(1 point) Responses An ionic bond because one bromine atom would transfer an electron to the other bromine atom. An ionic bond because one bromine atom would transfer an electron to the other bromine atom. A metallic bond because bromine is a metal A metallic bond because bromine is a metal An ionic bond because bromine is a nonmetal. An ionic bond because bromine is a nonmetal. A covalent bond because electrons would be shared for a stable octet in each atom.

Answer 1

The correct response is: **A covalent bond because electrons would be shared for a stable octet in each atom.**

Chlorine (Cl) is a nonmetal, and when two chlorine atoms bond, they share electrons to achieve a full outer shell, resulting in a covalent bond.
