What types of elements are involved in a nonpolar bond?

A nonpolar bond could only occur with covalent bonds, as all ionic bonds are polar. This means that all elements involved in nonpolar bonds are nonmetals.


Why are halogens more soluble in non - polar solvents like cyclohexane?

Halogens on their own are simple elements and are thus nonpolar. Nonpolar substances dissolve most easily in nonpolar solvents.


What is the fundamental difference between covalent and ionic bonding?

The nature of the elements in the bond. Elements with a high difference in electronegativity have ionic bonds, elements with a small difference have nonpolar covalent bonds, and elements with no difference (if an atom binds to an atom of the same element) have nonpolar covalent bonds. The more electronegative eleme


Is N2 a polar or non polar cound?

Nonpolar like all diatomic elements


Is HBr a polar covalent or nonpolar covalent?

It is polar covalent because these two elements are not the same.


How do you predict if a covalent compound will be polar or nonpolar based on the elements' positions on the periodic table?

Yes


Molecules of three or more elements may be nonpolar if the geometric shape is?

Symmetrical. The bonds will need to be nonpolar for this to work since the electrons will need to be shared equally between the two atoms.


Is CBr4 polar or nonpolar?

CBr4 is non polar in structure and nonpolar in bonding while finding the difference of electronegativity


Are lipids polar or nonpolar?

nonpolar or polar


What happens when a nonpolar solute is mixed in a nonpolar solvent?

The nonpolar solute is dissolved in the nonpolar solvent.


What is in a substance that makes it hydrophobic?

Substances are hydrophobic because they are nonpolar. Nonpolar molecules are made up of elements with little difference in their electronegativities so they do not have charges or partial charges. Water is a polar molecule so it tends to be attracted to other molecules that are polar as well. This is often summed up as "like attracts like". Some examples of hydrophobic molecules include fats and oils which are nonpolar because they have large hydrophobic hydrocarbon chains.


Do diatomic elements have nonpolar covalent bonds?

Diatomic molecules have non-polar covalent bonds and are non-polar molecules
