P(Phosphorous) and O(Oxygen) form a covalent bond. A Covalent bond occurs between two atoms equally-sharing (or at least semi-equally) an electron. If you look at the positioning of P and O on the Periodic Table, you will notice that they are both non-metals; thus are anions. Anions are ions with mostly negative charge. Since both P and O are non-metals, anions and negatively charged, this means that the electrons will be more equally-shared between them. All of this makes for a covalent bond.

Is AlPO4 ionic purely covalent or covalent?

AlPO4 is considered to have both ionic and covalent characteristics. The Al-P bonds are more ionic due to the electronegativity difference between aluminum and phosphorus, while the P-O bonds are more covalent. Therefore, AlPO4 is best described as having a mixture of ionic and covalent bonding.


Is P205 ionic or covalent?

P2O5 is covalent compound as the difference in electronegativity between P and O is below 1.7

Is p2o4 ionic or covalent?

The chemical compound P2O2 does not exist. IF it could it would almost certainly be covalently bonded.


Is AIPO4 a covalent bond?

No, AIPO4 does not have covalent bonding. It is a compound made up of the elements aluminum (Al), phosphorus (P), and oxygen (O), which typically involve ionic bonding between the metal and non-metal elements.


Is P205 a covalent or ionic bond?

P2O5 forms a covalent bond because both phosphorus (P) and oxygen (O) are nonmetals that share electrons to form chemical bonds. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms rather than the transfer of electrons, which is characteristic of ionic bonds.


Is Pb3(PO4)4 ionic or covalent bond?

Pb3(PO4)4 contains both ionic and covalent bonds. The bond between lead (Pb) and phosphate (PO4) ions is ionic, while the bonds within the phosphate ion itself (P-O bonds) are covalent.


How many covalent bonds in P?

Phosphorus typically forms three covalent bonds.


Is N O a covalent bond?

No, N O is not a covalent bond itself. It represents the chemical symbols for nitrogen (N) and oxygen (O). A covalent bond is a type of chemical bond where atoms share electron pairs.
