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.
no
MgF2 and NaCl are ionic. NH3 and H2O contain polar covalent bonds. N2 contains non polar covalent bond.
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.
polar covalent are caused by
Polar Covalent.
Polar Covalent
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.
NaCl is table salt, H2O is water, go pour some in and find out. it totally dissolves in water....nothin' special :) NaCl is ionic And H2O is a polar solvent therefore ionic in a polar covalent are soluble in a polar solvent.
Polar
H2O has polar covalent bonds, not non-polar covalent bonds.
Carbon monoxide has a polar covalent bond.
No, both oil and water are covalent compounds. Oil is made up of nonpolar covalent molecules, while water is a polar covalent molecule. Ionic compounds are typically formed between metals and nonmetals, like salt (NaCl).
