Does CCl4 contain both ionic and covalent bonds?
CCl4 is a covalent bond. Their difference in electronegativity isn't that great
What are the four types of chemical bonds?
Ionic Bonds-form when two atoms have a large difference in electronegativity. Covalent Bonds-form when two atoms have a very small difference in electronegativity. Polar Covalent Bonds- form when two elements bond with a moderate difference in electronegativity. Fall between ionic and covalent. Metallic Bonds-form in and between metals
Is AlBr3 covalent compound?
It is covalent and the bonds are polar covalent. This is because of the difference in electronegativity between aluminium and bromide.
Covalent bonds can best be dscrided as a what of electrons?
Covalent bonds are formed when electrons are shared between elements, electronegativity holds them together
What is ionic character and electronegativity?
Ionic/Covalent character is a percentage on a scale showing the difference in electronegativity between two atoms in a bond. It is expressed from 0-100%, correlating to the difference in electronegativity, starting at 0% with a difference in electronegativity of 0.0 (two atoms of the same element or of the same electronegativity) and ending at 100% with a difference in electronegativity of 3.3 (Fluorine, with the highest electronegativity of 4.0, minus an atom with the lowest electronegativity of 0.7, such as Francium and Cesium). In the middle, the difference is 1.7, in which the percentage in 50%. From 50-100% (1.7-3.3) shows bonds considered more ionic. From 5-50% (0.3-1.7) shows bonds considered to be Polar-covalent bonds. And finally, from 0-5% (0.0-0.3) shows bonds considered to be Nonpolar-covalent bonds.
How convalent bond develops ionic character?
Covalent bonds have ionic "character" when they are polar. The more polar, (greater the electronegativity difference) the more ionic character.
What is a result of intermolecular forces out of covalent bonds hydrogen bonds electronegativity double bonds?
hydrogen bonds

Does ncl3 have ionic bonds between atomS?
No. The bonds are all covalent. there is insufficient difference in electronegativity
What electronegativity value does nonpolar covalent bonds have?
less than 0.5
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.
If oxygen which has an electronegativity of 3.5 bonds with hydrogen which has an electronegativity of 2.1 the bond between the two atoms will be classified as what polar bond?
nonpolar!
How is electronegativity used to determine bond types?
If the electronegativity difference is less than 2, then covalent bonds are formed. If the electronegativity difference is greater than 2, then ionic bonds are formed.
