when two elements make an ionic bond, one element transfers electrons to the otherwhat is a compound where one element transfers 3 electrons to the other element?
You should be fine, as long as you make sure it's wrapped well in tin foil to prevent juices from running everywhere.
That cut of pork is pretty lean so you won't have juices running everywhereIt'll be fine.
YesJust cook it on a temperature suggested by the recipe.
You will have some juices coming out of the tenderloin even though it may be less than certain other cuts of meat, so you'll want to bend the edges of your aluminum foil upward to create at least a short rim all the way around to keep them from running off when you take it out of the ovenI actually form one corner of my foil into a little spout so that I can pour off the juices from my tenderloins after cooking (and resting 5-10 minutes to let most of the juices reabsorb into the meat).
Be very carefulTHere are no 100 percent ionic bonds in solid compoundsEven the most ionic of bonds (Cs-F) is not 100 percent ionic, there is some degree of sharing of electronsIn fact, there are very few compounds where the bond polarity is sufficiently high to be classified as ionicThat is because we can consider all bonds to be covalentOnly the ones where the electronegativity difference is well above 2.0 behave as if they are ionic There are a number of elements which have oxidation numbers of +3: group IIIA metals, and a number of transition metalsBut these metals also tend to have higher electronegativitiesTherefore the only compounds where these +3 metals will form near-ionic bonds would be with fluorine or oxygen For instance, the electronegativity of aluminum is 1.61 which is less than many transition metals (Cu is 1.90.) With fluorine the electronegativity in AlF3 is 2.37 which is enough to be classified as near-ionic, but in Al2O3 the electronegativity difference is 1.89 which has 59 percent ionic characterWith AlCl3 the bond is actually more covalent than it is ionicThe Al-Cl bond has 38 percent ionic characterFor instance, aluminum fluoride would be the only aluminum compound which would be classified as ionic.
