Electronegativity (EN) is a property calculated from Ionization Energy and Electron Affinity. If EN difference is more than 1.7 , it is considered IONIC bond and less than that it is categorized as COVALENT bond. Again, it is not a phenomenon that is observed that plays a role but a value calculated. HOpe this helps.

How does electronegativity influence molecular bonding?

Chemical bonding cannot be solely explained with the concept of electronegativity. According to generality, it is said that a particular compound has a principal ionic character if it exceeds the electronegativity difference of 1.7 in Pauling's scale.

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.


What is required for a bond to be polar?

The bonding atoms/ions should have different values in electronegativity.


Why CuS is covalent compound while CuO is ionic compound?

Not sure about your examples but electronegativity variance is a good rule of thumb for deciding ionic from covalent bonds. Electronegativity variance less than 1.4, generally much less, indicates a covalent bonding. Electronegativity variance greater than 1.4 indicates ionic bonding.


What are two atoms does hydrogen bonding occur?

FON The atoms that hydrogen bonds to when hydrogen bonding occurs, due to electronegativity variance, are; Fluorine Oxygen Nitrogen


What does bonding is on a continuum mean?

To say that bonding is on a continuum means that the type of bonding changes gradually as the difference in electronegativity between atoms increases. There is no sharp distinction between polar covalent and ionic bonds.
