I believe that when you subtract the elements electronegativity in the formula if it is less than .4 it is non-polar. in-between .4-2.0 it is polar. and over 2.0 is Ionic. Not positive though.

Is F-F ionic or covalent bond?

The F-F bond (in F2) is covalent, and non polar covalent at that.


What is the increasing ordor of electronegativity in ionic bond and polar covalent bond and non polar covalent bond?

The increasing order of electronegativity in bonds is lowest for nonpolar covalent bonds, followed by polar covalent bonds, and highest for ionic bonds. In nonpolar covalent bonds, the electronegativity difference between atoms is minimal, whereas in polar covalent bonds, there is a moderate electronegativity difference leading to partial charges. Ionic bonds have the highest electronegativity difference, resulting in complete transfer of electrons.

No. sulphur dioxide has polar covalent bond and is a polar covalent compound.


Is a bond always completely ionic or covalent?

No, a bond can exhibit characteristics of both ionic and covalent bonding, known as polar covalent bonds. In polar covalent bonds, electrons are shared between atoms but unevenly distributed due to differences in electronegativity.


Does Na and Cl make a polar covalent bond?

No. Sodium and Chlorine form an Ionic bond because the difference of their electronegativities equal 2.1. Use this: Nonpolar-covalent bond - 0-0.39 Polar-covalent bond - 0.4-1.79 Ionic bond - 1.8+
