Answer The larger the difference in electronegativity the more ionic properties a bond is said to have. The smaller the difference in electronegativity the more covalent properties a bond is said to have The magic number is 1.7 , if electronegativity (EN) difference is less than 1.7 then it is covalent. if it is more, then its ionic bond.

What is the difference between cyclones typhoon and hurricane?
The only difference between a hurricane, a cyclone, and a typhoon is the location where the storm occurs.
The fact that no chemical bonding occurs between the components of a mixture is the chief difference between mixtures and compunds?
Yes, it is true.
How is constructive interference different from destructive?
In physics, interference is a phenomenon in which two waves superpose to form a resultant wave of greater or lower amplitude. Constructive interference occurs when the phase difference between the waves is a multiple of 2pi, whereas destructive interference occurs when the difference is an odd multiple of pi.
Is the greatest difference between low and high tides occurs during a neap tide?
both spring tides and neap tides have a 20% difference from normal tides
What is the difference between cytokinesis in plant and animal cells?
In plants cytokinesis occurs by the formation of cell plate which takes place by centrifugal method while in animals it occurs by the formation of cleavage furrow which takes place by centripetal method.
Explain how to standardize a value?
Standardizing a value occurs by determining the difference between the value.
What is the difference between cyclones typhoon and hurricane?
The only difference between a hurricane, a cyclone, and a typhoon is the location where the storm occurs.
How is the electroegativity difference used in determining the type of bond that occurs between two atoms?
Elctronegativity difference between atoms that are bonded- rules of thumb!2 and aboveIonic but if one of the elements is a metal the rule can be relaxed a little to a difference of 1.6.between 0.5 and 2polar covalentbelow 0.5non polar-These "rules" vary from text bok to text book and by exam area to exam area- so if you have a local examiner approved rule use that!
What is the difference between digestion of heterotrophs and saprotrophs?
Heterotrophs- digestion occurs inside the body. Saprotrophs- digestion occurs outside of body.
Explain why an electric discharge occurs?
Because there is a potential difference between two objects.
What is the difference between conduction and convection a 5th grade answer please?
Conduction occurs in solids and liquids but not gases. Convection occurs in gases and liquids.
What is the difference between Rock minerals?
A mineral is a solid that occurs naturally in the Earth. A rock is a solid combination of minerals which also occurs naturally.
What is the difference between conflicts and problems?
conflicts is one which occurs between two persons . problems is which that one has own thing.
A covalent bond between two atoms occurs when the atoms?
A covalent bond occurs when there is a large difference in electronegativity between two atoms for example. Fluorine is very electronegative (as it is a non metal) and Hydrogen is not as electronegative. in fact there is a large difference in the electronegativity values. Therefore, a covalent bond occurs.
The greatest difference between low and high tide occurs during what tide?
spring tide .. ;)
What is difference between cold load and hot load?
hot load occurs when the power is high and the cold load occurs when yhe power is low
What is the difference between lub and dub?
The difference between lub and dub (The heart sounds S1 and S2 of a heartbeat) is that the lub occurs when atrioventricular valves close, and dub occurs when the aortic and pulmonary valves close (valves leading out of the heart from the left and right ventricles).
