Why is Oxygen not a polar molecule?

A molecule is polar if there is a difference in electronegativity between two atoms that are bonded together. Since there is no difference in electronegativity between two oxygen atoms, O2 is nonpolar.


Why is the bonding in O2 molecules called pure covalent?

because there is no electronegativity difference between the two oxygen atoms.


Is O2 is an example of a nonpolar polar or ionic?

Non polar covalent bonding. (Both atoms have the same electronegativity)


Which of the followin compounds is polar covalent o2 h2o nacl ch4 ki?

H2O. Due to difference in electronegativity. O2 is covalent, NaCl and KI are ionic, CH4 is usually considered to be simply covalent as the electronegatiicty difference is small.


Does naoh absorbs o2?

NaOH does not 'absorb' O2 it does however dissolve some O2, do you know what Van der Waal's bonds are? if you do than you will understand this: the formation of temporary dipoles in the oxygen molecule allow for the formation of VdW bonds to the partial charges on the molecule of NaOH due to the difference in electronegativity, hope this helps.


What is nonpolarity?

A non-polar molecule is a molecule that is symmetrical in the sense that the atoms on the outside pull equally on the central atom, thus not causing any differences in electronegativity.


Why is oxygen insoluble?

I am taking my second semester of Chemistry at university, and I think that O2 is insoluble because the electronegativity between the two atoms of O is less than 0.5.


Is O2 covalent or ionic bond?

It is covalent. Ionic bonds only form between two different elements with a larger difference in electronegativity. O2 contains two atoms of the same element, so there is no difference in electronegativity.
