No. If they did, no ionic compounds would exist.
The electronegativities of two atoms are equal :)
No, ionic bonds are formed between atoms of different elements that have significantly different electronegativities. Identical atoms have the same electronegativities, so they do not form ionic bonds.
The electronegativities of it's two atoms are similar.
the two atoms must be of the same element
Ionic bond: the difference between electronegativities of the atoms is over 2.Covalent polar bond: the difference between electronegativities of the atoms is under 2.Covalent non-polar bond: the difference between electronegativities of the atoms is cca. zero
the two atoms must be of the same element
A nonpolar covalent bond occurs when two atoms share electrons equally because they have the same or similar electronegativities. This type of bond is formed between identical atoms or atoms with similar electronegativities, resulting in a symmetrical distribution of electrons. As a result, there is no separation of charge along the bond axis, making it nonpolar.
These atoms have a very similar electronegativity.
Non-polar covalent bonds are formed by the sharing of electrons between two atoms with same (or similar) electronegativities.
A non-polar covalent bond occurs when the two atoms have similar electronegativities, meaning they share electrons equally. This suggests that there is no significant difference in the ability of the atoms to attract shared electrons.
The difference between the electronegativities of the atoms is near zero.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with varying number of neutrons. Thus, not all atoms are the same.
