Question

Non-metals form covalent chlorides because

  1. They can give electrons to chlorine
  2. They can share electrons with chlorine
  3. They form chloride ions when they give electrons to chlorine atoms
  4. They can't share electrons with chlorine atoms

hintHint:

They can share electrons with chlorine.

The correct answer is: They can share electrons with chlorine


    Non metals form covalent chlorides because they can share electrons with chlorine. A covalent bond is formed between two non metals. The sharing of electron pair takes place between their atoms and a covalent bond is formed.
