No such formula as 'h2o'. If you mean 'H2O'., then it is water, and it is covalently bonded.

NB ; When writing elemental chemical symbols, single letter symbols are ALWAYS a CAPITAL letter. Hence Hydrogen is 'H' , not 'h' , similarly Oxygen is 'O' , not 'o' . Two letter elemental chemical symbols are written , as first letter is a CAPITAL letter, and the second letter is small/lower case, e.g Chlorine (Cl).

This is the recognised I.U.P.A.C. international standard. Inspection of the Periodic Table will show elemental symbols in this form.

What is the name of the covalent compound H2O?

Water's chemical formula is given in the question.


Is H2O ionic or covolant bond?

H2O (water) has a covalent bond between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms. In a covalent bond, the atoms share electrons to form a stable molecule.


What contains a coordinate covalent bond KCl HF H2O F2?

KCl does not contain a coordinate covalent bond as it is an ionic compound. HF, H2O, and F2 contain coordinate covalent bonds, where a shared pair of electrons comes from one atom (donor) to form the bond.


Does H2O or CaO have stronger bond?

H2O has a stronger bond then CaO because H2O is a covalent compound (made up of two nonmetals), whereas CaO is an ionic compound (made up of both a metal and nonmetal), and covalent bonds are stronger then ionic bonds.


Does H2O have at least one ionic bond?

H2O does not have any ionic bonds. The bond between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms in water is a polar covalent bond, where electrons are shared unequally leading to a slight negative charge on the oxygen and a slight positive charge on the hydrogens.


Is hydrogen oxygen an ionic bond or a covalent bond?

Hydrogen and oxygen form a covalent bond when they combine to form water (H2O). In a covalent bond, atoms share electrons to achieve a stable configuration. An ionic bond involves the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, which does not occur in the case of hydrogen and oxygen in water.


Is h2o a covalent or ionic?

H2O, or water, is held together by polar covalent bonds. Covalent bonds are defined as a sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms. Ionic bonds are defined as a bond between metal and non-metal ions. There is no metal ion in an H2O compound because Hydrogen is a gas and Oxygen is a non-metal, so it cannot be an ionic bond.


Examples of ionic and covalent bonds?

Ionic bond example: Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl) form an ionic bond in sodium chloride (NaCl) by transferring an electron from sodium to chlorine. Covalent bond example: Hydrogen (H) and Oxygen (O) form a covalent bond in water (H2O) by sharing electrons between the two atoms.


Is H2O And Example Of An Ionic Compound?

No, H2O is covalent.


Is H2o covalent bond or ionic bond?

it is a polar covalent bond. Scince oxygen does not follow the octet rule(only 8 electrons, needs ten) and hydrogen has one electron, two hydrogen electrons plus eight oxygen electrons equal ten :)


Can hydrogen and oxygen form an ionic bond?

No, hydrogen and oxygen do not form an ionic bond. They typically form a covalent bond when they combine to make water (H2O). In this bond, they share electrons instead of transferring them.


What does NOT have covalent bonds A. H2O B. SO2 C. K2O D. PCl3?

C. K2O does not have covalent bonds. K2O is an ionic compound consisting of potassium (K) and oxygen (O) ions held together by ionic bonds, while the other options (H2O, SO2, and PCl3) have covalent bonds.
