Question

Which statement is generally true about CaCl2?
It has only metallic bonds between the atoms.
It has only covalent bonds between the atoms.
Its bonds are formed by large differences in electronegativity.
Its bonds are formed by small differences in electronegativity.

GPT-5 mini · Answer

Its bonds are formed by large differences in electronegativity.

Calcium (a metal) donates electrons to chlorine (a nonmetal) forming Ca2+ and Cl− ions; the electrostatic attraction between these ions (large electronegativity difference) gives CaCl2 its ionic bonding.

It has only covalent bonds between the atoms.
Its bonds are formed by large differences in electronegativity.
Its bonds are formed by small differences in electronegativity.
