Is NaBrO3 molecular or ionic?
If a compound contains at least one metal atom and at least one nonmetal atom, the compound is ionic. Na (Sodium) is a metal. Br (Bromine) is a nonmetal. Therefore, the compound NaBr is ionic.
What element is least likely to form an ionic bond with sodium?
Argon
Is All ionic compounds include at least two elements true?
Yes. All chemical compounds, ionic and covalent, contain 2 or more elements.
Why is aluminum fluoride ionic and aluminum iodide is covalent?
Aluminium iodide is covalent because the electron pair is easily dragged away from the iodide ion. On the other hand, aluminium fluoride is ionic because the aluminium ion can't polarise the small fluoride ion sufficiently to form a covalent bond.
Which end of the H-F bond is more negative?
The electronegativity of Hydrogen is about 2.2 and the electronegativity of Fluorine is about 4.0.Thus the negative pole is more on the Fluorine sideExtra:The difference is 1.8 which is greater than 1.7, the minimum difference for an ionic bond.So this would be an ionic bond.Or it is (at least) a very polar-covalent bond. Figures 1.7 or 1.8 are in the 'discussion' range
Which bonds are characterized most to least ionic?
Chemical bonds that are least ionic are covalent bonds.
What happens to electrons in un-ionic bond?
The electrons in un-ionic or non-ionic bonds occupy space in which at least two nuclear centers are contributing substantially to electrically attracting the electrons, whereas electrons in ionic bonds occupy space centered around a single nucleus as long as the ionic bonds are maintained.
What is the name of a bond with a pair of elements that form a bond with the least ionic character?
The least ionic type of bond is a covalent bond.
What is the pair of elements that forms a bond with the least ionic character?
O and Cl
The pair of elements that forms a bond with the least ionic character is what?
O and Cl
What element contains ionic bond?
No element contains any kind of bond except a metallic one. Ionic bonds can occur only between at least two different elements.
What properties may be used to form ionic compound?
The atoms which do involving in ionic bonds should have an electronegativity difference at least 1.7 according to Pauling's scale.
Which atoms form an ionic bond?
Not all ionic bonds are oxidation-reduction reactions. Typically, a metal paired with a nonmetal would form an ionic bond. Ex. Ag+ + Cl- --> AgCl (aq) these atoms are bonded with an ionic bond *All compounds with ionic bonds also have covalent bonding, but to a lesser degree.
Why do ionic compouds include at least one metal?
This is really a Chemistry question. Ionic bonds require ions of positive and negative charge: metals are positive, and only metals. Non metals are negative. Therefore, metal ions and non-metal ions form ionic compounds.
Is carbon and fluorine ionic?
Generally carbon forms covalent compounds. There are compounds with carbon anions, for example CaC2, calcium carbide which contains the C22- anion
How are covalent and ionic bonds involved in polyatomic bonds?
because polyatomic bonds are like ionic bonds where at least it contains a metal and a non-metal.usually in ionic bonds sometimes it's the same thing.also covalent bonds because think of water (h20) the oxygen atom has 6 electrons in it's second shell.it needs two more so that shell is complete two hydrogen atoms can do this job plus that hydrogen atoms have 1 electron in it's first shell and it want's another because the first shell can hold two electrons. all these not complete atoms are like the polyatomic because usually one is non-metal and the other is a metal.
What is the difference between a molecule and an ionic compound?
An ionic compound contains at least one positive ion and at least one negative ion, bonded together by this 'magnetic' attraction. A molecule is not necessarily bonded this way, for example water (H20) contains hydrogen bonds which hold it together, which are not ionic.
