Russian cosmonaut Gennady Padalka, 57, has spent a record 879 days in space throughout his career as he return from his latest mission from the International Space Station.

This is true of the solid, Al atoms are surrounded by 6 Cl atoms, high coordination numbers are typical for ionic solids. In the vapour phase AlCl3 dimerises to form Al2Cl6 which is covalent, with chloride bridges-each aluminium has four chlorine atoms surrounding t. and achieves its octet.efinitely covalent. The electronegativity difference isn't great enough for a bond between Nitrogen and Oxygen to be ionic. In order for a bond to be Ionic, the electronegati â¦ vity difference must be 2.7 or greater. The electronegativity difference of N and O is merely .4.
