Do nitrogen form covalent bond?
yes nitrogen being a non metal form covalent bond
Is CsF covalent or ionic bond?
Cesium is a metal and fluorine is a nonmetal. When a metal and nonmetal bond, they form an ionic bond.
What type of bond is formed when boron and silicon are combined?
they would form a covalent bond.
Does oxygen and nitrogen form an ionic bond?
No. An ionic bond is a bond between a metal and a nonmetal. Since oxygen and nitrogen are both nonmetals, they form a covalent bond.
How is covalent bond different from an ironic bond?
A covalent bond is a bond between a non-metal and another non-metal, and shares electrons, while an ionic bond is a bond between a non-metal and a metal and, instead of sharing electrons, they form ions.
What is formation of ionic covalent bond?
An ionic covalent bond forms when a metal bonds to a non-metal that is bonded to another non-metal. One such as this would be LiOH. The Oxygen and Hydrogen form a covalent bond and the Lithium to the Hydroxide forms an ionic bond.
Is XeOH a ionic or covalent bond?
Xe is an inert element that can't be combined in a chemical compound to form neither ionic or covalent bond.
What is formed when two metals or a metal and nonmetal are combined?
I don't know but what i do know is that two metals combined form a strip of metal called Bimetallic.
Can Cs and O form a covalent bond?
Covalent bonds are formed between a metal and a non-metal. Co is cobalt, a metal, so it will react with O to form CuO, a compound with ionic bonds.
What type of bond does Cl and Cl have?
Cl and F form ionic bond when they combine with metals and form covalent bond when combined with non-metals.
What type of bond does Cl and F have?
The bond between F and Cl is a polar covalent bond. Fluorine is very electronegative and Cl is not as much. The difference is large enough to be considered polar.
Can two different non metal form a covalent bond?
no, they cant
