Is H2O2 ionic or covalent bond?
covelnt
Is hydrogen peroxide a ionic compound?
No. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a covalent compound. Each oxygen atom goes through single bonding with the other oxygen atom, and another single bond with one hydrogen atom.
How H2O different from H2O2?
H2O is water which is formed from a covalent bond between hydrogen and oxygen. H2O2 is hydrogen peroxide which is formed from an ionic bond between the hydrogen H+ cation and the peroxide O2- anion.
Is a diatomic molecule more likely to be held together by a covalent bond or ionic bond?
diatomic molecules are made up of two atoms. These two atoms can either be the same of different chemical elements. Depending on what elements are in place well that depends on what kind of bonding. For example in class i learned that a homo-nuclear diatomic molecule is non-polar and covalent.
Do binary ionic compounds consist of only two atoms?
No,, the consist of only two elements, or two types of atom. But depending can consist of more than two atoms depending on the valences of the elements involved. Examples (covalent): H2O, H2O2, CO2, SF6, Cl2O7, Examples (ionic): Na2O, Na2O2, CaF2, Fe2O3

What is an ionic compound so2 clo2 h2o2 tio2?
TiO2 is ionic, rest are covalent compounds
Is hydrogen peroxide a ionic compound?

What compounds contains both ionic and covalent bonds NaNO3 CH3Cl C2H3OH NH2OH H2O2 CH3C?
NaNO3

What is h2o2 bond type?
Covalent bond
Which compounds would you expect to be ionic H2O2 SF6 CaO H2O or NH3?
CaO is the only ionic

How do you determine the bond type of H2O2 What is the formula Is it polar or nonpolar covalent?
Hydrogen peroxide has both polar covalent bonds (-OH bonds) and non polar covalent bonds (O-O bond).
What is the chemical valences for oxygen if there has to be 2 for H2O2's oxygen valence can't be -2?
H2O2 is one of the exceptions to the normal valence of -2 for oxygen. In H2O2, there is an oxygen-oxygen covalent bond, and therefore, although the valence of oxygen is still two, one of the bonds has no charge so that the charge of oxygen is only -1.
What is the equation for the reaction between KI and H202?
There is no real "net ionic" equation, as KI is a catalyst that decomposes H2O2. The "slow step" is H2O2 + I- --> OI- + H2O The "fast step" is H2O2 + OI- --> H2O + I- O2 The overall is: 2 H2O2 --> 2H2O + O2
