Is it true that the closer an earthquake the greater the time difference between the arrival of P-waves and the arrival of S-waves?
False. The closer you are to the epicentre, the smaller the time difference between the arrival of P and S-waves.
What makes rivers flow and the wind blow?
Gravity & Barometric Pressure respectively. The greater the difference in temperature or pressure between two areas, the stronger the winds that blow between them will be.
What type of bond has high electronegativity?
It depends on the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms. If the EN difference between two atoms is less than 0.5,the bond is nonpolar covalent. If the EN difference between the two atoms is between 0.5 and 1.6, the bond is polar covalent. If the EN difference between the atoms is greater than 2.0, the bond is ionic. If the EN difference is between 1.6 and 2.0, and if a metal is involved, then the bond is considered ionic. If only nonmetals are involved, the bond is considered polar covalent.

What is the difference between the climate on the windward side and the leeward side?
there will be a lower air pressure on the windward side causing more storms and a greater humidity
Tsunami waves are almost the same as ripples caused by throwing a rock into a pond. What is the major difference between the two?
The energy source of tsunami waves is much greater The energy source of Tsunami waves is much greater
What compound has a greater difference in electronegativities of its members NaCl or KCl?
KCl has a greater difference between the electronegativity of the two elements present.
Does covalent compounds have a high or low electronegativity?
In comparison with ionic bonds, the difference in electronegativities of elements in a covalent bond have a lower difference in electronegativities. A covalent bond occurs between two nonmetals that have a difference in electronegativities that is 1.7 or less. Usually an ionic bond has a difference in electronegativities that is greater than 1.7, but not always.
The greater the difference in electronegativities in a diatomic molecule the Blank the polarity of the molecule?
greater
Are ionic bonds non polar?
No. Ionic bonds are ionic, in which the difference of electronegativities between the atoms forming the bond are greater than 1.7. Nonpolar bonds are covalent bonds in which the difference of electronegativities of the atoms forming the bond is less than 0.5.
How do you use the electronegativity chart to determine the type of bond that will form between H plus N?
Using the Electronegativity ChartNitrogen has an electronegativity value of 3.1 whereas hydrogen has a value of 2.1. Since the difference between their electronegativities is less than 1.7, therefore they will form covalent bond. Also because the difference is greater than 0.5 the bond will be polar covalent. Note that these differences in electronegativity are rules of thumb and some text books and teachers will recommend different differences.
The greater the electronegativity difference between two bonded atoms the greater the percentage of?
The greater the electronegativity difference between the two bonded atoms, greater is the ionic character of the bond.
What is the difference between better and greater?
better is goodx2 greater is betterx2
What two elemts will form non covalent bounds?
Two elements will form ionic bonds if the electronegativity difference between them is greater than 1.6 -2.0. Opinions vary as to the exact differences. Metals typically have low electronegativities which is where the simple rule metal with non metal comes from.
Why inter halogens are more reactive then halogens?
If they are more reactive, I would speculate it is due to their differences in electronegativities. The greater the difference, the more stable the compound. Electronegativities decrease as you go from F to I. For example, ClF3 reacts more violently than F2, yet IF7 is chemically inert. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interhalogen
