the polar one is less stable than the non-polar one
What else can I help you with?
What type of electronegativity difference exists between atoms in a covalent bond?
In a covalent bond, atoms with a small electronegativity difference share electrons almost equally, creating a nonpolar covalent bond. When there is a larger electronegativity difference, one atom pulls the shared electrons more strongly, resulting in a polar covalent bond.
A covalent bond formed between two elements that have an electronegativity difference of 1.6 would be?
a very polar bond.
Does HF have a polar covalent bond?
yes it is a polar covalent bond. the difference of electronegativities of H and F is 1.9 , it should be an ionic bond but the ratio of atomic sizes of both the atoms is responsible for polar covalent bond.
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
What is a polar covalent bond forms when two atoms?
A polar covalent bond is formed when the difference between electronegativities of two atoms is 0,4 to 1,7.
Is SO2 non polar covalent polar covalent or ionic bond?
Polar covalent. The difference in electronegtivity is insufficient for an ionic bond
What is N-O bond type ionic polar covalent nonpolar covalent or metallic?
Polar covalent. Due to the difference in electronegativity between nitrogen (N) and oxygen (O), the bond they form is polar covalent, meaning that the electrons are not shared equally between the atoms.
How does the En of 2 atoms compare if the covalent bond between them is polar?
If by En you mean electronegativity, than in a polar covalent bond, the difference is 0.3 to 1.7.
How are electrons shared in a non polar covalent bond?
In a non-polar covalent bond the sharing of electrons between the atoms is equal.This depends on the difference between the electronegativities involved in the bond; when a difference don't exist or is minimal the bond is non-polar.As an example the diatomic hydrogen bond is non-polar.
What is the increasing ordor of electronegativity in ionic bond and polar covalent bond and non polar covalent bond?
The increasing order of electronegativity in bonds is lowest for nonpolar covalent bonds, followed by polar covalent bonds, and highest for ionic bonds. In nonpolar covalent bonds, the electronegativity difference between atoms is minimal, whereas in polar covalent bonds, there is a moderate electronegativity difference leading to partial charges. Ionic bonds have the highest electronegativity difference, resulting in complete transfer of electrons.
What does a covalent bond mean?
It just means a non-polar bond. If the difference in electronegativity between the two elements is less than .5, then it is a pure (non-polar) covalent bond.
Is a covalent bond considered polar or nonpolar?
Both actually. It just depends on the electro-negativity of the atoms bonded together. If both have the same electro-negativity, it is a nonpolar covalent bond. Otherwise, you have a polar covalent bond.
