Is B2H6 non polar covalent compound?

Answer 1

Ba(OH)2

======

Barium hydroxide, an ionic compound composed of the cation barium, Ba 2+, and the polyatomic anion hydroxide, OH -.

Answer 2

Hydrogen molecules are covalently bonded, not ionically. They are sharing a pair of electrons between them: they have an equal claim on those electrons so the bond is 100% covalent. A compound is made of two or more DIFFERENT types of atom, so H2 is not a compound. Water, H2O, is.

Answer 3

It's a sort of funny covalent bond. In BH3, the B-H sigma orbital is unusually high in energy compared to a C-H bond because of the lower nuclear charge of B compared to C, so it wants to find an unusually low energy unoccupied orbital to stabilize the electrons. It finds that in the unoccupied p orbital of another BH3 molecule, so the orbitals overlap and create a 3-center, 2-electron bond. I'm just a student, though, and I'm sure you can find better explanations using Google.

Answer 4

No. H2S is not an ionic compound since hydrogen does not normally forms ionic bonds because it has only one electron. If it donates its electron completely to S the ionic structure of hydrogen no longer seems to exist due to unavailability of any further electrons. Hence, the bond in the said compound is a covalent one but it may show some polar character.

Answer 5

No, B2H6 is not a ionic compound, it is a molecular compound.

Answer 6

Yes!

Rubidium hydride.

Formula: RbH

Answer 7

There is no neutral B2H4 molecule. It is theoretically possible but has never been observed. B2H4^2- does exist, and it has a structure similar to diborane, B2H6.

Answer 8

Diborane is covalent. The bonding may look a little odd because it has bridging hydrogen atoms, which form 3 centre 2 electron bonds.

Answer 9

It's non-polar, apparently.....
