because there is no electronegativity difference between the two oxygen atoms.

Why is the bonding in Oxygen molecules called pure covalent and the bonding in CO called polar covalent?
"Pure Covalent" is a synonym for "nonpolar covalent bonding". That means that each atom pulls equally on the electrons and doesn't produce a permanent dipole moment.
Are diamonds an example of Metallic bonding?
No - pure covalent bonding
What type of bonding does pure water have?
1 atom of oxygen is bonded covalently to 2 atoms of hydrogen. two molecules of water are combined to each other through hydrogen bond
What type of bonding is OF?
Graphite is made of pure carbon atoms. The bond between the C atoms is called a covalent bond.
What type of bonding graphite?
Graphite is made of pure carbon atoms. The bond between the C atoms is called a covalent bond.
What type of bonding is graphite?
Graphite is made of pure carbon atoms. The bond between the C atoms is called a covalent bond.
Is ions in a bar of pure iron a covalent bond?
The bonding in a bar of pure iron is generally called "metallic", which is distinguished from an ionic bond by the lack of any anions and is distinguished from other covalent bonds by the extreme extent of delocalization of the electrons.
Is gold a covalent bond or metallic bond?
pure solid gold utilizes metallic bonding
Is pure water a compound?
YES!!!! Pure water has the chemical formula 'H2O'. This means that it has one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. They are combined chemically. Their method of combination is covalent bonding. Covalent bonding means electrons from combining atoms are shared.
Why are diamonds insoluble in water?
Diamonds are pure carbons held together through covalent bonding and forming a giant structure, there is no net charge on diamond so not attracted by polar water molecules and can not dissolved by water.
Is pure sodium a covalent or ionic bond?
Pure, elemental sodium is neither. Any element in its elemental form has no bonding unless it's a diatomic molecule such as Hydrogen, H2, or a covalent network such as some forms of carbon, in which case that would be a covalent bond.
Is magneisium a covalent bond?
Pure magnesium is a metal and the bonding is not covalent. Magnesium forms ionic bonds with more electronegative elements and this is its most common method of bonding. It does form covalent bonds for example with carbon in grignard reagents, for example ethyl magnesium bromide, C2H5MgBr.
