How does the bond that forms between Ba and Br demonstrate that the boundaries between bond types as determined by electronegativity differences are not clear cut?
I don’t know the answer
How does a ionic compound form?
An ionic compound forms when atoms of an element of low electronegativity transfer one or more electrons per atom to atoms of an element of high electronegativity. The resulting cations, formed from the atoms of the element of low electronegativity, and anions, formed from the element of high electronegativity, are held together by mutual electrostatic attractions to form the ionic compound.
Why covalent bond generally forms between atoms of non metal?
The electronegativity difference between nonmetals is relatively small, so such compounds are nearly always covalent. On the other hand the electronegativity difference between a metal and a nonmetal is often fairly large, so metal-nonmetal compounds are usually ionic.
What are the similarities and differences between diamond and graphite and Buckminsterfullerene?
similarities -- all are forms of carbon differences -- because of the structures of the bonds of the carbon atoms, they have different properties
What bond forms between two atoms?
A chemical bond that may be ionic where the atoms bonded together are charged or covalent where electrons are shared. The nature of the bond depends on the relative electronegativity of the atoms involved. An example of an ionic bond is in sodium chloride. An example of a covalent bond is one between carbon and hydrogen for example in a hydrocarbon. When an element atom bonds to another atom of the same elemnt then that bond is covalent, eg O2, N2, H2, S8.
What kind of bond forms through sharing of electrons?
A covalent bond forms when atoms share electrons. If two atoms have similar electronegativity values (general rule of thumb is if their electronegativity values is less than 1.67) than the two atoms are more likely to share electrons. This tends to happen between two non-metals. Ionic bonds form between two atoms with electronegativity value differences greater than 1.67. They involve a transfer of electrons. This occurs between a metal and nonmetal.
What molecules forms a polar covalent bond?
In these molecules the difference of the electronegativity between the two atoms is significant.

What moves between two atoms when a chemical bond forms between the atoms?
Valence Electrons

A chemical bond that forms when atoms share electrons is always?
It will be a non polar molecule because, electron's ARE shared equally in a bond. Atoms have same or similar EN(electronegativity) values.
What to atoms make a covalent bond?
Strongest bond that forms between 2 atoms.
How do you know about the difference between an ionic bonding and covalent bonding?
If you are looking at a chemical bond between two elements, simply find the difference between their electronegativities (simply google a periodic table that includes electronegativity to find an element's electronegativity). So for instance, in: Pottasium + Flouride Flouride has an electronegativity of about 4.0, and Potassium has an electronegativity of about 0.8. 4.0 - 0.8 = 3.2 if the difference is from 0.0 to 0.3, the bonds are non-polar Covalent. if the difference is from 0.3 to 1.7, the bonds are polar Covalent. if the difference is from 1.7 upwards, the bonds are Ionic.
