It is difficult to find a completely nonpolar covalent bond (which have no ionic character) because in this type of bond, the electrons are equally shared. This only happens when two atoms of the same electronegativity are bonded, which basically means to atoms of the same element. Thus, only elemental molecules such as diatomic chlorine gas have completely nonpolar covalent bonds.

How do you find out if a compound is ionic or covalent?
If a compound is made from a metal and a non-metal, its bonding will be ionic.If a compound is made from two non-metals, its bonding will be covalent. Compounds containing two elements (so called binary compounds) can either have ionic or covalent bonding.
Where could you find a solid covalent compound?
In a solid candle of high molecular mass paraffin, among many other places.
What is the smallest unit of covalent compound?
i asked you the same question and you are asking me to answer it. oh man so i got no way to find the answer to this question
What is the valency of trioxosulphate IV?
it is the stupidest compound whos valency is really difficult to find
How do you distinguish between an ionic and a covalent compound?
As a general rule, the further apart elements are on the periodic table, the more likely the compound that they form is ionic. Consequentlly, the closer they are, the more likely they will be covalent. If you have the electronegativity values for the elements in question, you can calculate whether the compound is covalent, polar covalent, or ionic. Find the absolute valule of the difference between the electronegativities of the elements. If the difference is: 0 to .5 = covalent .5 to 1.9 = polar covalent 1.9 to infinity = ionic

Is a covalent compound composed of a non-metal and a metal?
Eventhough we classify chemical bonds as ionic and covalent,when we get deeper into nature of bonds, we find that what we call an ionic bond has some amount of covalent character and vice versa.So theoritically speaking there's no such thing like nonpolar covalent bond.But if we consider cases of homonuclear diatomic molecules like O2,H2 etc. the electronegativity difference between the two bonded atoms is almost zero and hence there would be an ideal case of equal sharing of electrons by the two atoms in those molecules.Hence it may be called as a nonpolar covalent bond.
Can you find benzodiazepines in aspirin?
No. Aspirin is composed of acetylsalicylic acid and inert filler (such as starch). Benzodiazepine is a completely different compound.
Is O and F considered covalent ionic or neither?
The words "covalent" and "ionic" refer to bonds between atoms, and not atoms themselves. If you are referring to O2 and F2, the forms in which we find oxygen and fluorine, respectively, then the bond between the two oxygens is considered to be non-polar and covalent. The same can be said of the bond between the two fluorine atoms in F2. If you are referring to the bonds in the compound formed by oxygen and fluorine, you must first identify that compound. It is OF2, and is named "fluorine oxide". The bonds between the oxygen and fluorine in fluorine oxide are slightly polar and covalent. The determining property is "electronegativity", which you should look up and review. By convention, when the electronegativity difference between atoms is: < about 0.4, the bond between them is non-polar and covalent between about 0.4 - 1.7, then bond between them is polar and covalent > 1.7, then bond between them is ionic.
Is the cell membrane very difficult to find?
Difficult to find? No. Difficult to see? Definately.
