Best Answer

The bond formed between hydrogen and iodine to produce HI is a polar covalent bond. One might think it would be ionic because of the large differences in electronegativity, but the strict definition of ionic would be a metal and a non metal. This is not the case in HI. So, strictly speaking it is covalent, but has a large degree of ionic character.

The atomic number for iodine 53 how many bond with hydrogen will it have and why?

The atomic number is not what dictates how many bonds it will form with hydrogen. Iodine is in group 7A (XVII) and so it has 7 valence electrons. It wants 1 more, and so it will share the 1 electron that hydrogen has. It thus will make ONE bond with hydrogen, to form hydrogen iodide, HI.
