2 - 1.7 = 0.3
Not much difference. This implies that these two elements will form a nonpolar covalent bond with each other. Greater than 1.4 variance and you are probably looking at an ionic bonding. Less than 1.4 is covalent, but too great a variance that does not exceed 1.4 is likely a poplar covalent bonding.
What else can I help you with?
Which pair of elements is more likely to form ionic compounds?
Group 1 or group 2 elements with group 16 or group 17 elements. In general, if the electronegativity difference between the two atoms is more than 1.7 in Pauling's scale, then the two atoms form ionic bond.
Which atoms have the highest electronegativity on the periodic table?
Group 17 elements have the highest electronegativity out of which fluorine has the highest electronegativity.
What is the difference between atoms oxygen 16 and oxygen 17?
The main difference between oxygen-16 and oxygen-17 is their atomic mass. Oxygen-16 has 8 protons and 8 neutrons, while oxygen-17 has 8 protons and 9 neutrons. This difference in neutron number results in oxygen-17 being slightly heavier than oxygen-16.
Which element form ionic bond?
If the difference of electronegativity between two atoms of two elements is very large, when more the difference of ionisation potential between the two atoms, and the value of electron affinity is higher, if one element is metal and the other is a non-metal.......then there are chances of formation of a chemical bond between the elements. For e.g. bonding between Na and Cl. Mg and O. Ca and Cl. Fe and S. and so on.
What is the electronegativity of CH3Br?
Pauling electronegativity 2.96 Sanderson electronegativity 3.22 Allred Rochow elctronegativty 2.74 Mulliken-Jaffe electronegativity 2.95 (14.3% s orbital) Allen electronegativity 2.685 Follow the link for further explanation
What is the significance of March 17?
Astonishing
Which elements can never be the central atom?
In general, the halogens (group 17 elements) such as fluorine, chlorine, and iodine are never found as central atoms in molecules due to their high electronegativity and tendency to form single bonds. Additionally, noble gases such as helium and neon are not commonly found as central atoms in molecules because they are generally non-reactive.
Number of chlorine atoms in CaCl2?
There are two chlorine atoms in CaCl2.
What is difference between 17 and under 17 years old?
the difference between 17 and under 17 years old is that under means younger than 17 and 17 is just 17.
Does chlorine have 17 elements?
No. Chlorine atoms each have 17 protons in their nuclei
What is the difference -17 - 17?
-34
What is the atomic number in atoms?
I think it is 17
