To classify a bond as polar or covalent, you must first find the Electronegativity difference. The electronegativity of Na is 0.93 and Cl is 3.16.
Therefore we find the electronegativity difference by subtracting: 3.16 - 0.93= 2.23.
Therefore NaCl is an ionic bond.
For electronegativity differences >1.7, the bond is ionic.
For electronegativity differences between 0.4-1.7, the bond is polar covalent
For electronegativity differences < 0.4, the bond is non-polar covalent.

∙ 14y agoNo, it is an ionic compound, which means that one electron from each Na atom will be 'given' to a Cl atom, so both atoms will become ions (atoms with a charge). Then all the ions in the sample will form a lattice, like a 3D chessboard of Na and Cl ions. Molecules can only be polar if they are covalently bonded
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoNo, since NaCl is soluble in water, it must be polar. Likes dissolve likes. Water is polar, NaCl is polar.

∙ 13y agoNo way, it's a pure ionic bond! The opposite of nonpolar covalent.

What substances contains a nonpolar covalent bond mgf2 nacl nh3 h2o n2?
MgF2 and NaCl are ionic. NH3 and H2O contain polar covalent bonds. N2 contains non polar covalent bond.
Salt is a polar covalent compound?
no salt (NaCl) is an ionic compound
Which of the following contains a polar covalent bond NaCl NO O2 Na(s)?
no
Is NaCl a polar or non polar state your reason?
NaCl is ionic, and polar/non-polar usually refers to covalent bonds. So, while it is polar in a sense (there are + and - parts) it is really ionic. It is, however, soluble in polar liquids, such a water.
Which of the followin compounds is polar covalent o2 h2o nacl ch4 ki?
H2O. Due to difference in electronegativity. O2 is covalent, NaCl and KI are ionic, CH4 is usually considered to be simply covalent as the electronegatiicty difference is small.
Which of these compounds contains a polar bond N2 H2O MgS NaCl?
N2 = covalentH2O = polar covalent bondMgS = ionic bondNaCl = ionic bond
