Question

Which cation(Na+ or Ca2+) would form a stronger ionic bond with Cl-

Answer 1

Answer:

The strength of an ionic bond can be determined by looking at the difference in electronegativity within a compound.

It can said that when the difference in electronegativity exceeds 1.7, the compound is ionic as the ionic character is greater than 50% (conversely, the covalent character is less than 50%).

Just look at this graph of percentage ionic character plotted against the difference in electronegativity.

Answer 2

Answer: The answer to this question is-

When we compare between Na+ and $Ca^{2+}$, the former atom(Na+) is smaller in size , so we know that greater the product of the ionic charges, the stronger is the bond. and also the sum of radii of $Na^{+}$ and $Cl^{-}$ is lower.

Explanation:

Ionic bond strength is influenced by two factors:

a)The higher the product of the ionic charges, the greater the ionic charge. the closer the connection.

b) Ionic size: The bond is stronger the lower the sum of the radii of the anion and the cation.

Na+ and Cl-, In contrast to the others, ions are smaller and have higher charges. They'll create an ionic link that is stronger.
