What is the difference between a ionic bond covalent bond and a polar covalent bond?
Wiki User
∙ 9y ago
The ionic bond is formed by electrostatic attraction between two atoms.
In the polar covalent bond the electrons sharing is unequally distributed between the two atoms, but the bond remain covalent.

∙ 15y agoIonic bond - there is a gain and loss of electrons. The two elements when combined form ions. there is a complete transfer of electrons. Covalent bond - there is a sharing of electrons. the elements are joined together. example of this is the hydrogen bonds.

∙ 8y agoIonic bond: this bond is based on electrostatic attraction of ions.
Covalent bond: electrons are shared between atoms.
Covalent polar bond: electrons are shared between atoms but the sharing is not equally distributed.

A bond between two atoms with a difference in electronegativities greater than 1.7 is classified as?
It represents the boundary between what is considered to be an ionic or a covalent bond.
What type of bond has high electronegativity?
It depends on the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms. If the EN difference between two atoms is less than 0.5,the bond is nonpolar covalent. If the EN difference between the two atoms is between 0.5 and 1.6, the bond is polar covalent. If the EN difference between the atoms is greater than 2.0, the bond is ionic. If the EN difference is between 1.6 and 2.0, and if a metal is involved, then the bond is considered ionic. If only nonmetals are involved, the bond is considered polar covalent. Please refer to the related links.
Is HF an ionic or covalent?
a very polar, single, covalent bond, yes. This would be an ionic bond. The electronegativity of Hydrogen is about 2.2 and the electronegativity of Fluorine is about 4.0. The difference is 1.8 which is greater than 1.7, the minimum difference for an ionic bond. Or it is (at least) a very polar-covalent bond. Figures 1.7 or 1.8 are in the 'discussion' range
Is sodium bicarbonate ionic polar covalent or non polar covalent?
Sodium bicarbonate is an ionic compound.
Is MgCl2 a polar covalent non polar covalent or ionic bond?
Magnesium chloride has an ionic bond.
Is SO2 non polar covalent polar covalent or ionic bond?
Polar covalent. The difference in electronegtivity is insufficient for an ionic bond
Is S and O ionic or covalent?
Polar covalent. The difference in electronegtivity is insufficient for an ionic bond
Is MgCl2 a polar covalent bond a covalent bond or an ionic bond?
MgCl2 is an ionic compound. there is a large difference in electronegativity between Mg and Cl.
What kind of bonding is BR-BR?
An ionic bond is expected between K and Br.
Is H20 a ionic polar covalent or non polar?
Polar covalent bonds between O and H
A bond between two atoms with a difference in electronegativities greater than 1.7 is classified as?
It represents the boundary between what is considered to be an ionic or a covalent bond.
What type of electronegativity difference exists between atoms in a covalent bond?
If the electronegativity difference between two atoms is less than 1.7, then a covalent bond is formed between the two atoms.
How can the type of bond be predicted?
Ionic bond: the difference between electronegativities of the atoms is over 2.Covalent polar bond: the difference between electronegativities of the atoms is under 2.Covalent non-polar bond: the difference between electronegativities of the atoms is cca. zero
Is P3Cl5 a ionic or covalent bond?
PCl3 has covalent bonds. The difference in electronegativity between P and Cl is not large enough. The electronegativity of P is 2.19 and for Cl it is 3.16, and so the difference is less than one, making it a polar-covalent bond.
Is sugar ionic polar covalent or non polar covalent?
Polar Covalent
Is NH3 ionic or polar covalent?
polar covalent
Is the term for a bond between two atoms that differ in electronegativity?
If there is a slight electronegativity difference, the bond is a nonpolar covalent bond. If there is a large electronegativity difference, it is an ionic bond. If the difference is somewhere between, it is a polar covalent bond.
