What two things would happen if hydrogen bonds held the backbones together but covalent bonds held the templates together?

Hydrogen bonds are weak, but they are able to hold the backbones together. If covalent bonds held the templates together instead, the bonds would be even weaker and would likely break.


Which elements would most likely form non-polar covalent bonds?

H and H


What type of bond is OF?

The bond between O and F would be a covalent bond (dative/coordinate), if in fact OF existed. More likely it would exist as OF2 (still covalent bonds).


What would be more dangerous near fire ionic or covalent compound?

Compounds with covalent bonds are generally more dangerous more open flames, because they are more likely to combust. Ionic compounds such as salt usually do not react as nearly much to flame. This results due to the different natures of the bonds.


What type of bond would a carbon atom form covalent or ionic?

If it bonds with a metal then its ionic. if it bonds with a nonmetal then is covalent.


Which of these pairs of elements would most likely form non-polar covalent bonds Al and Br or Zn and Br or Br and Br or H and H?

Both Br and Br and H and H form non-polar covalent bonds.


How would an atom with 2 electrons in its second shell combine with other atoms?

double covalent bonds. single covalent bonds.


Would Li and you form polar covalent bonds?

no


Is N2 a ionic or covalent bonds?

N2 is a Triple bond which would be Covalent


Why would the nitrogen atom form a covalent bond?

It would form a nitrogen atom because Nitrogen is a nonmetal, and covalent bonds occur when a nonmetal bonds to another nonmetal.


Which of these elements are most likely to form covalent bonds silicon oxygen chlorine or sulfur?

silcon has the lowest electronegtaivity so would most likely form covalent bonds. Sulfur is next (although with group1 and 2 metals it forms ionic compounds) oxygen and chlorine have high electronegativites so form many ionic compounds - however they also form covalent compunds as well.
