Is an ionic compound polarcompound

Answer 1

Yes. We have covalent polar bonds, covalent not polar bonds and ionic bonds. If the electronegativity is below 1.2, the bond is covalent and not polar and the compound shares electrons..If EN is between 1.2 and 1.8 the bond is covalent polar which means that electrons are still shared, but one compound is more dominant and pulls the electrons stronger than the other. When the electronegativity is 1.8 or more, one compound takes away an electron and becomes negativ, and the other compound looses the electron and becomes positive. Positive and negative items attract each other and that is a polar bond.
