Question

Out of KCl, HCl, CCl₄ and NaCl, the compounds which are not ionic are:

पर्याय

• KCl and HCl

• HCl and CCl₄

• CCl₄ and NaCl

• KCl and CCl₄

Answer 1

HCl and CCl₄

Explanation:

KCl and NaCl are ionic compounds formed by the transfer of electrons from a metal (potassium or sodium) to a non-metal (chlorine). In contrast, HCl and CCl₄ consist entirely of non-metals that combine by mutually sharing their valence electrons. Because these elements share electrons rather than transferring them, they form covalent bonds and are not ionic.
