What type of bond is OF?

The bond between O and F would be a covalent bond (dative/coordinate), if in fact OF existed. More likely it would exist as OF2 (still covalent bonds).


What would a proton H plus most likely form a cordinate covalent bond with?

Oxygen


Which elements would most likely form non-polar covalent bonds?

H and H


If two atoms of nitrogen were to join together to form a bond between themselves and obey the octet rule would their bond be likely to be ionic or covalent?

Covalent.


A bond between two atoms with a difference in electronegativities greater than 1.7 is classified as?

It represents the boundary between what is considered to be an ionic or a covalent bond.


What group would Group 7A most likely form a covalent bond with?

With itself or with 5A group


What would be more dangerous near fire ionic or covalent compound?

Compounds with covalent bonds are generally more dangerous more open flames, because they are more likely to combust. Ionic compounds such as salt usually do not react as nearly much to flame. This results due to the different natures of the bonds.


3 properties of a covalent bond?

Covalent bonds are mostly formed between two non metal atoms. They are formed by sharing one or more valence electrons and with creating hybrid orbits. A covalent bond between two likely atoms would be non polar.


How many covalent bonds are formed by silicon?

The element silicon would be expected to form 4 covalent bond(s) in order to obey the octet rule. Si is a nonmetal in group 4A, and therefore has 4 valence electrons. In order to obey the octet rule, it needs to gain 4 electrons. It can do this by forming 4 single covalent bonds.


Is fluorine and iodine a most likely pair to form a ionic compound?

No, they are both halogens and nonmetals with a electronegativity too close together to form an ionic bond. They, if ever bonded, would form a covalent, or polar covalent bond.


What two things would happen if hydrogen bonds held the backbones together but covalent bonds held the templates together?

Hydrogen bonds are weak, but they are able to hold the backbones together. If covalent bonds held the templates together instead, the bonds would be even weaker and would likely break.


Is the C6H3CH3 compound ionic polar covalent or nonpolar covalent?

The formual is suspect- such a compound would be covalent.
