The compound that forms between nitrogen and chlorine is
a. ionic
b. molecular/covalent

Answer:
Covalent bonding is a type of chemical bonding which is characterized by atoms sharing electrons. For nitrogen and chlorine to covalently bond, nitrogen needs 3 electrons. Chlorine only has one electron therefore two more chlorine molecules are needed. Because one atom of nitrogen needs 3 atoms of chlorine to bond, the formula will be NCl3.
