Which element can form diatomic molecules joined by single covalent bond?
Every halogen can form their molecules by a single covalent bond.
Is F2 a covalent compound?
No, F2 is covalent but it is an element, not a compound.
What element forms a diatomic molecule with a triple covalent bond?
All halogen molecules (F2, Cl2, Br2, I2) are bonded with a single covalent bond, this bond is not ionic but molecular.ionic molecules (do not exist) are joined. this is because when a diatomic molecule it transforms to a ionic molecule when its joined by a single covalent bond.
What element is a polar covalent bond?
No single element can form a bond. Only 2 or more elements can form bonds. Polar bonds occur when there is a dipole moment, or there is asymmetry in the structure. For example, HF forms a polar covalent bond.
What element has atomic number of 53?
Iodine is a halogen. Single atom has 53 protons.
Which element can form diatomic molecules joined by single covalent bond?
Every halogen can form their molecules by a single covalent bond.
Can a single element be covalent?
Yes. ex: hydrogen.
Is F2 a covalent compound?
No, F2 is covalent but it is an element, not a compound.
Is nitrogen a covalent bond?
Nitrogen is not a bond; it is the single element Nitrogen.
How many outer shell electron does an atom of an element belonging to the halogen family have?
This is a chemical element. You can find the how many electron in a single atom by using a periodic table.
What element forms a diatomic molecule with a triple covalent bond?
All halogen molecules (F2, Cl2, Br2, I2) are bonded with a single covalent bond, this bond is not ionic but molecular.ionic molecules (do not exist) are joined. this is because when a diatomic molecule it transforms to a ionic molecule when its joined by a single covalent bond.
What compounds form single covalent bonds?
Elements in group 17 need one electron to gain a stable electron configuration. Two atoms of the same element or two elements in this family forms compounds with a single covalent bond. Examples are chlorine, bromine or iodine chloride.
Does fluorine and chlorine form an ionic bond?
Fluorine and chlorine do form ionic bonds, albeit not with each other. They are both members of the halogen family, and form fluoride or chloride ions, with a single negative charge (as they gain an electron when reacting with metals).
Is fluorine an alkali metal or halogen?
No single element can be both an alkali metal (form +1 cations) and a halogen (form -1 anions).Alkali metals :LithiumSodiumPotassiumRubidiumCesiumFranciumHalogens:FluorineChlorineBromineIodineAstatine
What element is a polar covalent bond?
No single element can form a bond. Only 2 or more elements can form bonds. Polar bonds occur when there is a dipole moment, or there is asymmetry in the structure. For example, HF forms a polar covalent bond.
What element has atomic number of 53?
Iodine is a halogen. Single atom has 53 protons.
How many valence electrons does a single neutral chlorine atom have?
7, as does an atom of any halogen (element in column 17 of a wide form periodic table.)
