Do ionic bonds have a greater or lesser electronegativity difference between them than a covalent bond?
The difference in electronegativity between two elements bonded into a compound by ionic bonds is almost always greater than the difference in electronegativity between two elements bonded into a compound by covalent bonds.
Use the electronegativity chart to determine the type of bond that will form between this pair of elements.?

How did Pauling define electronegativity?
Pauling's definition of electronegativity Electronegativity is defined as the attracted force which an atom, bonded by a covalent bond, exerts on the bonded pair of electron responsible for the covalent bonding.
How can a covalently bonded compound be recognized from its chemical formula?
You look up the elements involved on a periodic table, if there is a low electronegativity difference between them and if they are both nonmetals it is so. (Electronegativity decreases when you go left, increases when you go down)
State the definition and trend for electronegativity?
Electronegativity is the ability for an atom to attract electrons. It is expressed in numeric values in Paulings (a unit named after a chemist). On the periodic table it increases from left to right across a period. It decreases down a group on the periodic table.
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 elements have low electronegativity?
The elements with low electronegativity are the metals, specifically the alkali metals and alkali earth metals. The elements further to the left of the periodic table will have lower electronegativity than those farther to the right.
Where is electronegativity on the periodic table?
Electronegativity is not found on the Periodic Table of the Elements.
What is a none polar covalent bond?
A non-polar covalent bond is one in which the electronegativity difference between the bonded elements is 0.5 or less. This means that the electrons are shared relatively equally.
Does the color of an element determine the atom's electronegativity?
no the color doesn't have anything to do with the electronegativity
Does the color of an element determine an atoms electronegativity?
no the color doesn't have anything to do with the electronegativity
Is calcium oxide covalently bonded or ionically?
Calcium is a metal with an electronegativity of 1.0 and oxygen is a nonmetal with an electronegativity of 3.5. The electronegativity difference is 2.5, and anything over 1.7 indicates an IONIC BOND.
