Can the term molecule be applied to both an ionic and a covalent bond?
No. Molecules are formed from covalent bonds, usually between nonmetals. Ionic compounds are formed by ionic bonds from the electrostatic attraction of positively and negatively charged ions, generally between metals and nonmetals.
What kind of bond forms a molecule?
Only covalent bonds form a molecule. Ionic bonds form an ionic compound.
What kind of bonds hold together atoms in a molecule?
The bonds are ionic or covalent.
What is Br2 atom ion or molecule?
No, they are covalent bonds. An ionic bond is formed between a group 1 metal and Br.
Covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons and ionic bonds are formed when positive and negative ions bond to form an ionic compound.?
Ionic - electron transfer Covalent - electron share (co - share)
Is a molecule held together by covalent bonds or ionic bonds?
covalent bonds
The bonds in a molecule of oxygen are?
Ionic covalent
What are ions formed by covalent bonds?
Ions are formed in the case of ionic bonds and not covalent bonds.
Which is most likely a compound formed with covalent bonds?
Molecule. A nonmetal to nonmetal covalent bond. Electronegativity is not variant enough among the nonmetals to form ionic bonds.
What are three types of chemical bonds found in living things?
Ionic bonds, covalent bonds, and probably hydrogen bonds
Difference of ionic and covalent bonds?
Ionic bonds are bonds formed by a metal and a nonmetal (e.g. CaCl2), while covalent bonds are bonds formed between two nonmetals (e.g. CO2).
How are Ionic bonds are formed between atoms that have large differences in?
Ionic bonds are formed between atoms with large differences in electronegativity.
