Identify the type of bonding within each substance.

1. Co ( s ) - metallic bonding

2. CoCl₂ ( s ) - ionic bonding

3. CCl₄ ( l ) - covalent bonding

Explanation:

Metallic bonding -

It is the type of bonding present between the atoms of the metals , via the electrostatic interaction between the metal and the delocalized electrons , is known as metallic bonding .

For example ,

Mostly metals show metallic bonding .

Ionic bonding -

It is the type of bonding present between the ions i.e. , the cation and the anion is known as ionic bonding .

For example ,

Mostly ionic compound , like salts show ionic bonding .

Covalent bonding -

It is the type of bonding which is present between shared pair of electrons , is known as covalent bonding .

For example ,

Most of the carbon compounds are capable to show covalent bonding .

Hence , from the question ,

1. Co ( s ) - metallic bonding

2. CoCl₂ ( s ) - ionic bonding

3. CCl₄ ( l ) - covalent bonding
