Ionic bonds are different from covalent bonds. Identify the characteristics of ionic bonds?
One atom is a metal and one is a nonmetal One atom has a high electronegativity value, while the other value is relatively low.
What kind of bond is OF2?
As I originally stated in my original answer, the bonds in a molecule of OF2 are covalent. The electronegativity difference between them, according to the Pauling values is 0.54, which indicates a slightly polar covalent bond, in which Fluorine has the higher electronegativity value.
Ionic bonds show which characteristics that aren't seen in covalent bonds?
One atom is a metal and one is a nonmetal One atom has a high electronegativity value, while the other value is relatively low.
What best describes a bond with two unlike atoms?
It depends on the elements. Each element has an electronegativity value, which is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract electrons towards itself. The difference in electronegativity (EN) between the bonded atoms determines the type of bond; nonpolar covalent, polar covalent, or ionic. Refer to the related link for more information.
If the difference in electronegativity values between two atoms is more than 2.0 non-polar covalent bonds generally form?
True apex:)
Are carbon compounds formed by exchanging electrons with carbon?
False. Carbon has the ability to form very long chains of interconnecting C-C bonds. These bonds are nonpolar covalent, meaning they have an electronegativity value of 0 and share electrons rather than transferring them, as an ionic bond would.

What is the measure of the ability to attract electrons in a chemical bond is?
You think probable to the value of electronegativity.
Is NH2- polar or nonpolar?
polar because they're not next to each other.
The electronegativity value for Cesium is 0period7 the value for fluorine is 4 period 0 is the bond formed by combining what A polar covalent B covalent or C ionic?
ionic bond
Is salt a ionic compound or a covalent compound?
Take a look at their electronegativity values for this one. Electronegativity is the relative attraction that a atom in a molecule has for the shared pair of electrons in a covalent bond. Salt is Sodium Chloride which is NaCl. Na has an electronegativity value of 0.93. Cl has an electronegativity value of 3.16. The difference between the two is 2.23. This is much higher than 1.7 (a pure covalent bond e.g. Oxygen-Oxygen bond O2) therefore it is a highly ionic compound. If this was less than 1.7 it would be a polar covalent molecule.
How is electronegativitg difference used in determining the type of bond tha occurs between two atoms?
Answer The larger the difference in electronegativity the more ionic properties a bond is said to have. The smaller the difference in electronegativity the more covalent properties a bond is said to have The magic number is 1.7 , if electronegativity (EN) difference is less than 1.7 then it is covalent. if it is more, then its ionic bond.
Does magnesium nitride have a ionic or covalent bond?
In this case, Mg has a value of 1.3 and N has a value of 3.0, so it is an ionic bond. Ionic and covalent bonds are on a continuum. Some "ionic" compounds are in fact partly covalent because the positive cation (e.g. magnesium) polarizes (attracts the electrons of) the anion forming a stronger bond than if it was 100% ionic. A table of ELECTRONEGATIVITY can help one determine whether a bond is ionic or covalent. The bigger the difference in electronegativity the more ionic the bond.
