Polar covalent. The difference in electronegtivity is insufficient for an ionic bond


Is carbon electronegative?

Yes, carbon is not typically considered electronegative. Electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract electrons in a chemical bond, and carbon's electronegativity value is relatively low compared to elements like oxygen or fluorine.

Polar covalent. The difference in electronegtivity is insufficient for an ionic bond


Is CsF a non-polar covalent bond?

No, caesium is a group 1 metal, with low electronegtivity. With fluorine it forms an ionic compound.


What happens to the group 1 elements as you go down the table?

As you go down Group 1 in the periodic table, the reactivity of the elements increases due to the decrease in ionization energy and increase in atomic size. The metals become more reactive with water and air as you move down the group.


Is nitrogen and sulfur ionic bonded?

No. Both are non-metals so the bond is covalent. The electronegtivity difference of 0.46 is far to small to give an ionic bond. A couple of exampls are NS a strange molecue found in deep space, it is the sulfur analog of NO N4S4 has an unstable cage structure and is unstable.


What is the type of intermolecular force are present in NH3?

The type of intermolecular force present in NH3 is hydrogen bonding. This is due to the electronegativity difference between nitrogen and hydrogen atoms in NH3, which allows for the formation of strong hydrogen bonds between NH3 molecules.


What type of intermolecular forces exist in BaCl2?

Calcium Chloride (CaCl2) is composed of Calcium and Chlorine with Calcium having a partial positive charge and Chlorine having a partial negative charge. This means that the intermolecular forces will include dipole forces and London forces.
