If it's an element find the difference in the electronegativities. If the difference is between 0 and 0.3, then it's nonpolar-covalent. If the difference is between 0.3 and 1.7, then it's polar-covalent. If the difference is between 1.7 and 3.3, then it's ionic. For example, fluorine and cesium. F has an electronegativity of 4.0, and Cs has an electronegativity of 0.7. 4.0-0.7=3.3, so the cesium-fluorine bonding would be ionic.

How do metallic bonding cause metals to conduct electricit current?
It conducts electricity
If a substance is water soluble its solution conducts and it is hard-what kind of bonding is it?
ionic
Does SCl2 conduct electricity?
no because its a covalent compound, it undergoes covalent bonding. if it was a metallic or ionic then it would conduct when molten or in aqueous state. the only element that undergoes a covalent bonding and conducts electricity is graphite, no other element or allotrope conducts.
Which type of bonding results in a substance that can conduct electricity when dissolved in water is it non polar covalent or metallic?
The correct answer is not any of those given but rather ionic and some polar covalent bonding.
What is it called when different elements join to form a substance?
When different elements join to form a substance, it is called a chemical reaction or a chemical bonding process. During this process, atoms of different elements combine and rearrange to create a new substance with different properties. This can occur through various types of bonding such as ionic bonding, covalent bonding, or metallic bonding.
Is the properties of each state of a substance are due largely to the degree of intermolecular bonding?
Yes. The bonding of the specific molecules of a substance determines its state of matter.
Why doesn't static electricity cause ionic bonding?
I am pretty sure that static electricity doesn't cause ionic bonding, as it is only the hold of electricity in one area. The transfer of the electrons to other elements does not cause ionic bonding, as the electrons are transferred, rather than chemically combined. With this fact, every static electricity transfer plainly transfers electrons, while Ionic bonding, such as NaCl, combines AND transfers them.
Which elements are poor conductors of electricity?
if you know chemical bonding it is easier to understand but any substance that doestn contain charge carriers is a poor conductor of electricity i.e. a substance that doenst contain free moving electrons or ions to propagate the current
How does bonding in NaCl allow it to conduct electricity?
ionic compound
Are metals a good conductors of heat and electricity?
Metals are a good conductor of heat and electricity because of their bonding. Metallic bonding consists of a sea of electrons rather than discreet bonds. The free electrons are able to move very freely. Since electricity and heat need electrons to move, the bonding promotes conductivity.
Substance changes to form a new substance with?
a chemical reaction causes breakage and bonding of the atoms and molecules in any substance that consists of matter.
Is CHCl4 interparticle force hydrogen bonding?
There is no such substance as (CH)(Cl4).
