What type of bond does f-f have?
the bond between f-f is covalent as both share electrons.and they dont have much electronegativity difference.
Between what atoms is a covalent bond most likely to occur calcium and lithium sodium and flourine nitrogen and oxygen helium and argon?
calcium and lithium are both metals and dont form bond with each other. sodium and flourine form ionic compound, sodium fluoride. nitrogen and oxygen form covalent bond in the nitrogen oxides. helium and argon are both nonmetals / noble gases and dont form bond with each other.
Covalent and ionic bonds differ in that?
covalent bonds are also called molecular bonds since they are formed of the combination of different atoms to form molecules..while ionic bonds are formed of ions of the atoms..an ionic compound contains an anion (negative ion) and a cation (positive). Ionic bonds dont involve the sharing of electrons
Can a quadruple covalent bond exist?
Yes, yes it can I dont know how but yes, yes it can
How many electrons are being shared in a single covalent carbon atom bond?
i dont know f@rk head

How many atoms covalent bonding have?
nah they dont >>>>>>
What describes bonding in a polar covalent bond?
i dont know. you tell me

What is molecule held together by a covalent bond?
Covalent bonds form between two non-metals. Covalent bonds will never form between a metal and non-metal. The non metals form a molecule by sharing the electrons between them to give an overall neutral charge. There are a large number of molecules held together with covalent bonds, for example: O2 (oxygen gas) C2H5OH (ethanol, ie alcohol) CO2 (carbon dioxide) basically, any molecules that dont contain metals.
What type of bond will form between H N?
In a molecule the bond is covalent, as in ammonia. Between molecules a hydrogen bond can occur between a hydrogen atom on one molecule which is attached to N or O and a nitrogen atom with lone pairs.
What bond involves the gain and loss of electrons?
Ionic bonds involve an element gaining an electron and an element losing an electron.Ionic bonds differ from covalent bonds in that covalent bonds cause elements to "share" electrons, while in ionic bonds there is a distinct transfer of electrons.Ionic Bond.
What must always be true if a covalent bond is to be polar?
All bonds are polar unless they are two of the same element because of the electronegativity of the atoms. The side with the more electronegative atom is the negative side because it pulls electrons closer to it than a less electronegative atom. The periodic trend of elecronegativity increases left to right across the table and decreases up to down. Hope this helps..
Ironic bonding work?
If you meant IONIC bonds, they are a type of bonds two atoms can share which are often contrasted with COVALENT bonds. If you really did mean IRONIC bonds, perhaps you were making a joke, or refering to the webcomic 'IRONIC BONDS' which tells science puns.
