In covalent compounds atoms become chemically stable by doing what?
bonding to ionic compounds of the same charge
Is O2 is an example of a nonpolar polar or ionic?
Non polar covalent bonding. (Both atoms have the same electronegativity)
When two atoms combine by transferring electrons is it covalent or ionic?
When metals are in their elemental form they have what is called metallic bonding. In metallic bonding the valence electrons from the atoms are not associated with a single atom but are shared in a common "electron pool." The electrons are said to be delocalized throughout the metal.
How it is possible to have a purely covalent bond while it is not possible to have a purely ionic bond?
In valence bond terms pure covalent bonds are only possible between atoms of the same element, any ionic resonance forms are "symmetric" and contribute equally to the structure. In the case of ionic bonding the covalent resonance forms that contribute to the overall bond do not cancel in the same way, they may however be of a sufficiently different energy to the "pure" ionic resonance form to make only a minimal contribution to the overall bonding.
Is Br-Br a covalent or Ionic bond?
Br- is an anion formed by bromine by losing an electron. Here bromine is not bonded to any other atom and hence there is no bonding here
Is covalent and ionic are same?
No, in covalent bonding atoms "share" electrons. In ionic bonding one atom completely takes on or more electrons away from another.
In covalent compounds atoms become chemically stable by doing what?
bonding to ionic compounds of the same charge

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 CL2 an expected ionic bonding?
The chlorine molecule is formed by two chlorine atoms. Any compound which is formed by the same non metal element is expected to be covalent.
Is sulfur monoxide a covalent or ionic bond?
It would be a covalent bond because they're both gases (chalcogens) and can't balance out its charges having the same atomic charge of -2. Ionic bonding usually deals between a metal and a nonmetal (gas, metalliod) and cancelling charges.
Is vegetable oil an ionic or covalent bond?
Generally speaking, your oils (canola, olive, vegetable, even baby) are covalent or molecular compounds (they mean the same thing.) Most oils are some combination of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and maybe another element or two. Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are all non-metals, and non-metals bond to each other covalently, which means they share electrons. Ionic compounds, on the other hand, involve a transfer of electrons, and result in the bonding of metals with non-metals (not the case with oil.)
Are molecular and covalent the same thing?
Molecular bonds and covalent bonds are indeed the same thing, this is because covalent bonds share pairs of electrons with their neighbor atom(s), unlike ionic compounds. Ionic compounds(mostly salts) are held together due the difference of their electric load, the bigger the difference in loading the more powerful the bond will be. Another difference is that ionic compounds split into ions when they are dissolved into solution..
Atoms are joined together by ionic or covalent?
covalent because same electronegativity.
