Eventhough we classify chemical bonds as ionic and covalent,when we get deeper into nature of bonds, we find that what we call an ionic bond has some amount of covalent character and vice versa.So theoritically speaking there's no such thing like nonpolar covalent bond.But if we consider cases of homonuclear diatomic molecules like O2,H2 etc. the electronegativity difference between the two bonded atoms is almost zero and hence there would be an ideal case of equal sharing of electrons by the two atoms in those molecules.Hence it may be called as a nonpolar covalent bond.
A covalent compound is a compound which contains covalent bonds. They do not only contain non-metal and metal in the same compound. A covalent bond is a form of chemical bonding that is characterized by the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms, and other covalent bonds. In short, the stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces between atoms when they share electrons is known as covalent bonding.
Covalent bonding occurs in non-metal compounds for the most part, and rarely happens in mixes which contain metal due to the ability of metals to easily delocalize their elections.
Yes a covalent bond is formed by two non metal atoms/elements.
Ionic bonds are between a metal and a nonmetal. Covalent bonds are between a non-metal and a non-metal. Na (metal) + Cl (non-metal) = ionic Cl (non-metal) + Cl (nonmetal) = covalent
An ionic compound is composed of metal and a nonmetal. Therefore NBr3 is a covalent compound, because it is made up of two nonmetals.
Short answer both ionic and covalent! The bond between the sodium (metal) and phosphate (PO43-) (nonmetal) is ionic. The bonds between the phosphorous (nonmetal) and the oxygen (nonmetal) atoms are all covalent. The trick is to treat a covalent compound (PO43-, CO32-, etc) as grouped together when balancing charges, looking for ionic bonds, etc.
No. According to electronegativities, it is Covalent. Ionic is between a metal and a nonmetal
Salt is a compound of Sodium (Na) and of Chlorine (Cl), thus, it is a nonmetal because it is a compound of 2 nonmetals. Na is not a nonmetal it is a highly active metal. This can be easily googled.
ionic = metal + nonmetal covalent = nonmetal + nonmetal So your compound is covalent because P (Phosphorus) is a nonmetal and O (oxygen) is a nonmetal.
covalent compounds is two nonmetals. example: phosphorus and oxygen are a covalent compound. ionic compounds is when you have a metal and a nonmetal or a metal and a polyatomic.
Ionic bonds are between a metal and a nonmetal. Covalent bonds are between a non-metal and a non-metal. Na (metal) + Cl (non-metal) = ionic Cl (non-metal) + Cl (nonmetal) = covalent
Nigger
a metal cation and a nonmetal anion
NO2 is covalent. Usually you can tell when a compound is ionic or covalent by the elements it is composed of. A nonmetal and a nonmetal with be covalent, while a metal and a nonmetal will be ionic.
An ionic compound is composed of metal and a nonmetal. Therefore NBr3 is a covalent compound, because it is made up of two nonmetals.
A covalent bond is formed. A molecular compound is formed.
No, this molecule is not ionic. It is composed of all non metal atoms. In order to be ionic, the compound should consist of the following combinations: metal + nonmetal, or metal + polyatomic ion, or 2 polyatomic ions together.
Ghh
it forms (ionic, covalent) your answer
well C is carbon, carbon is a nonmetal H is hydrogen and it's also a nonmetal when you have two nonmetal it is a COVALENT compound when you have a metal and a nonmetal it is IONIC compound example: NaAr sodium and argon one is a metal and on is a nonmetal
