Question

5/53
predict the bond that will form between se and cl.
ionic
covalent

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Ionic bonds form between metals and non - metals, where electrons are transferred. Covalent bonds form between non - metals, where electrons are shared. Selenium (Se) is a non - metal (metalloid, but in bonding context, acts as non - metal here) and Chlorine (Cl) is a non - metal. Non - metals tend to form covalent bonds by sharing electrons to achieve stable electron configurations.

Answer:

Covalent
