Chlorine gas (Cl2) does not contain polar bonds. A bond is polar if the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms are about 0.4 to 1.7. Since the two atoms in the Cl2 bond are the same, the electronegativity difference is 0 and therefore the bond is completely non-polar.

∙ 13y agoChlorine can bond with non-metals like its self and regular metals. When it bonds with anouther non-metal it will form an covalent bond and when bonding with a metal it forms an ionic bond.

∙ 14y agoChlorine only has one available bond because it has 7 valence electrons and a full shell would be 8, therefore it forms single bonds.

∙ 6y agoNo. There is a single covalent bond between the two atoms of a chlorine molecule.

Are those double bonds of carbon and chlorine?
Carbon can form double bond, but chlorine will not form double bond.
Is chlorine a single bond or a double bond?
The bond formed by chlorine is a single bond- e.g. in Cl2, in HCl
Why is it not possible for a chlorine atom to form a double covalent bond?
Chlorine has 7 valence electrons and needs one more electron to form octet. Hence each chlorine will form only one covalent bond and not two bonds (or double bond).
The nonreactivity of chlorine atom in chloroethene is due to?
the double bond
Contrast the bonds that are formed by diatomic chlorine and diatomic oxygen?
The covalent bond in diatomic oxygen is a double bond and is stronger than the single covalent bond in diatomic chlorine.

What is the main difference in covalent bonds in diatomic chlorine and diatomic oxygen?
The covalent bond in diatomic oxygen is a double bond and is stronger than the single covalent bond in diatomic chlorine.
Is Carbon-Chlorine a nonpolar covalent bond?
No. A carbon-chlorine bond is a polar covalent bond.
What type of bond is Aluminum plus Chlorine?
A compound of aluminum and chlorine has an ionic bond.
Is carbon and chlorine have covalent bond?
Yes. a covalent bond is formed between carbon and chlorine.
Why is chlorine of chlorobenzene difficult to remove than methyl chloride?
This is because the lone pair electrons of Chlorine are dispersed throughout the benzene ring by resonance. This gives the C-Cl bond a double bond character, making it shorter and stronger, difficult to break. Hence this chlorine is more difficult to remove than Methyl-chloride's chlorine
How does a bond forms between soduim and chlorine in soduim cloride?
it's an ionic bond. sodium donates its e- to chlorine and you have a bond.
What kind of bond can chlorine atom form?
Chlorine can form both ionic and covalent bonds. For example:-NaCl- Here bond between chlorine and Sodium is ionic.HCl- Here bond between Hydrogen and Chlorine is covalent.
