How can you determine the type of chemical bond a substance has?

If you mean ionic, covelant or metallic: Metallic bonding is between 2 metal atoms. Ionic bonding is betwen non metal and metal atoms. Covelant bonding is between 2 non-metals.

Is C2O a ionic or covelant bond?

The bond between carbon and oxygen in C2O is considered to be covalent, as both carbon and oxygen atoms share electrons to form a stable bond. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, which is not the case in this molecule.


What property determines whether an atom forms an ionic polar covelant or nonpolar covelant bond?

You have to now the VSERP theory. The number of valence electrons determine the polarity of the molecule as well of the electronegativities of the elements involved. The less symmetric the molecule the more polar it is.

What is the method of bond formation for ionic?

The method of bond formation is stealing electrons and other things because the element needs as much electrons as it can to become positive and dominate the atom and become a covelant bond which is better and more efficiant for atoms.

What kind of bond results when electron transfer occurs between atoms of 2 different elements?

The kind of bond that results when electron transfer occurs between atoms of two different elements can be considered covalent, polar covalent, or ionic. The type of bond will depend upon the identities of the elements and their electronegativity's.
