What else can I help you with?
Is C2H2 covalent or ionic?
covalent, generally only metals non metal form ionic substances, therefore carbon and hydrogen are covalent. C2H2 is acetylene, ethyne and has a carbon carbon triple bond.
Can carbon only form polar covalent bonds?
No, carbon can form both polar and nonpolar covalent bonds. The type of bond formed depends on the electronegativity of the atoms involved. If two carbon atoms are bonding, it is typically a nonpolar covalent bond.
What pair is most likely to form a covalent bond lithium and iodine sodium and oxygen calcium and chlorine copper and tin or carbon and oxygen?
Carbon and oxygen are the only pair in that list that will form a covalent bond; the others will form ionic bonds, except for copper and tin which will form a metallic bond.
Can carbon and hydrogen form an ionic bond yes or no?
No, carbon and hydrogen cannot form an ionic bond because they do not have a significant difference in electronegativity. Ionic bonds occur between elements with a large difference in electronegativity, leading to the transfer of electrons. Carbon and hydrogen tend to form covalent bonds, where electrons are shared.
What type of bond is formed between carbon and carbon?
The bond between carbon and fluorine is covalent. Carbon only forms covalent bonds, in all cases.
Can carbon form 5 covalent bonds?
No, carbon can only form a maximum of 4 covalent bonds due to its atomic structure with 4 valence electrons. Each of these electrons can form one bond with another atom, resulting in a maximum of 4 covalent bonds for carbon.
Is c2h2 is covalence?
covalent, generally only metals non metal form ionic substances, therefore carbon and hydrogen are covalent. C2H2 is acetylene, ethyne and has a carbon carbon triple bond.
What type of bond is formed between carbon and fluorine?
A covalent bond is formed between carbon and fluorine. In this bond, the atoms share electrons to achieve a stable configuration. The electronegativity difference between carbon and fluorine results in a polar covalent bond.
Is carbon tetrachloride an ionic bond?
Carbon tetrachloride is a covalent compound.
Is carbon monoxide an ionic bond or a covalent bond?
covalent, there two non-metals, ionic's only between two metals.
What elements commonly form covalent bonds?
Only nonmetals can form covalent bonds. Mainly because in a covalent bond the atoms are sharing electrons, as in an ionic bond the two atoms are taking electrons.
Does CCl4 contain both ionic and covalent bonds?
CCl4 is a covalent bond. Their difference in electronegativity isn't that great
