Question

Is AgCl ionic?

Answer 1

1. Yes,$\mathrm{Cl}$ is ionic in nature.
2. In $\mathrm{AgCl}$, $\mathrm{Cl}$ is a halogen that has high ionic ability due to high electronegativity.
3. Reaction: $\mathrm{AgCl}$ $\to$${\mathrm{Ag}}^{+}$ $+$ ${\mathrm{Cl}}^{-}$.
4. In this compound, chlorine accepts both the electrons and gets a stable and got negative charge.
5. And silver got a positive charge because it donates its electron,
6. Charge on $\mathrm{Ag}$ is +1 and on Cl is −1.
