$$AgCl$$ is __________ in nature.

Acovalent
Bionic
Correct Answer
Cpolar
Dnon-polar

Solution

Silver chloride is ionic in nature. Charge on silver is +1 and that on chlorine is -1. Chlorine has one electron to gain for completing its octet. In the same way, Ag can donate one electron. So, ionic bond is formed when one electron from Ag is transferred to chlorine.
