Is the bond between fluorine and chlorine nonpolar covalent?

The electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and for fluorine it is 3.98. The difference in electronegativities is 0.54, so the bond between fluorine and oxygen is polar covalent.


Is oxygen ionic polar covalent or non polar covalent?

nonpolar covalent


If oxygen which has an electronegativity of 3.5 bonds with hydrogen which has an electronegativity of 2.1 the bond between the two atoms will be classified as what polar bond?

nonpolar!


When fluorine atoms form covalent bonds with other kinds of atoms are the bonds polar or non polar?

nonpolar


Is F2 classified as a polar covalent?

No, fluorine F2 is a homonuclear molecule so there is no difference in electronegativity. This means that fluorine is a nonpolar compound.


What covalent bonds is the most polar hydrogen and fluorine or hydrogen and nitrogen?

Electronegativity Difference HF = 1.9 = ionic bond HC = 0.4 = nonpolar covalent HH = 0 = nonpolar covalent HN = 0.9 = polar covalent HN is the more polar bond. HF is not polar covalent, it is ionic.


C2H2 polar or nonpolar?

polar covalent


Given that it has the highest electronegativity can a flouride atom ever form a nonpolar covalent bond?

A fluorine atom can never form a nonpolar covalent bond because if you were to use the electronegativeity chart and subtract the second highest number with Fluorine, you get numbers that range from 0.6 (polar covalent) to 3.3 (ionic).


Is CCl4 nonpolar covalent or polar covalent?

POLAR


Is CO a nonpolar covalent or polar covalent?

Because oxygen is much more electronegative than carbon, the bonding in CO (carbon monoxide) is a polar covalent.


Is hydrosulfuric acid polar covalent or nonpolar covalent?

It is polar covalent.


Is oxygen a polar or a nonpolar bond?

O2 , dioxygen has a non-polar covalent bond. With other elemnts, oxygen can form covalent bonds (generally polar) and ionic bonds as the O2- ion
