Does CO have a polar covalent bond?

Yes. CO (carbon monoxide) has a polar covalent bond.


Is water a pure covalent or polar covalent?

Water molecule is polar covalent, but has a negligible ionic behavior.


Why is the bonding in Oxygen molecules called pure covalent and the bonding in CO called polar covalent?

"Pure Covalent" is a synonym for "nonpolar covalent bonding". That means that each atom pulls equally on the electrons and doesn't produce a permanent dipole moment.


Is CO a nonpolar covalent or polar covalent?

Because oxygen is much more electronegative than carbon, the bonding in CO (carbon monoxide) is a polar covalent.


What is hydrogen oxide is it pure covalent or polar covalent or ionic?

Hydrogen oxide (a.k.a. water) is a polar covalent compound.


Is CO polar non polar or ionic?

Cobalt is an element. Polar, non-polar and ionic are terms to describe compounds. They measure whether the compound as delta charges or their form of bonding. Thus, it is not applicable to cobalt (Co), which is an element and pure by itself.


What is the bond polarity of CO?

Polar Covalent


Is the bond in O2 a pure covalent or a polar covalent?

Purely covalent bonds, because it is 'all-sided' symetrical.


Is CO a ionic polar covalent or non polar covalent bond?

It is a non-polar covalent bond. O - C - O The oxygen atoms have a delta- charge, and the carbon a delta+ charge. Because the negative charges pull the electron cloud into different directions, it has no side which is more electronegative than the other. Therefore it is a non-polar covalent bond.


What does a pure covalent bond mean?

The covalent bond present between the atoms of the same element is called pure covalent bond. for example in H2


Is CO a polar covalent bond a covalent bond or an nonpolar covalant?

who cares its just science


CO is Covalent ionic or metallic?

Co, carbon monoxide, is covalent. Two non-metals, difference in electronegativity mkes the bond polar.
