Why non metals form chlorides
Answers
Answer:
on-metals form covalent chlorides because (a) they can give electrons to chlorine. ... (c) they can give electrons to chlorine atoms to form chloride ions. (d) they cannot share electrons with chlorine atoms.

Answer:
Because metals have lower electronegativity than non-metals. This means that they have lower ionization potential, i.e., they give away easily electrons. In quantum theory terms, the electron density after the overlapping of the metal/non-metal orbitals is strongly withdrawn to the chlorides.
This is not the case of non-metals. They are more reluctant to give away electrons (lower ionization potential). The electron density is less withdrawn to the chlorine atom, hence a covalent bond is formed
