How is ionic bond different from a covelant bond?

An ionic bond involves a transfer of electrons from one atom to another . Covalent bonds involve a sharing.

How can you determine the type of chemical bond a substance has?

If you mean ionic, covelant or metallic: Metallic bonding is between 2 metal atoms. Ionic bonding is betwen non metal and metal atoms. Covelant bonding is between 2 non-metals.

What property determines whether an atom forms an ionic polar covelant or nonpolar covelant bond?

You have to now the VSERP theory. The number of valence electrons determine the polarity of the molecule as well of the electronegativities of the elements involved. The less symmetric the molecule the more polar it is.


Is aluminum an covelant ionic or polyatomic?

Aluminium is a chemical element, metal and form ionic bonds.


What is the method of bond formation for ionic?

The method of bond formation is stealing electrons and other things because the element needs as much electrons as it can to become positive and dominate the atom and become a covelant bond which is better and more efficiant for atoms.

If sodium has one electron in its outer shell and chlorine has seven in its outer shell will they have an ionic tranferring bond or an ionic sharing bond?

they would actually have a covelant transferring bond. that was probably supposed to be one of the choices you put, right?-this is incorrect. a covalent bond is formed when the electrons of atoms are shared. In this case, the valence electron of the sodium(NA) is transferred to the chlorine(Cl) atom, then the opposite charges are attracted. this is an ionic bond and this is how sodiumchloride is formed.**this is an ionic bond.


Is a hydrogen bond stronger than a covelant bond?

No. A hydrogen bond isn't even an actual bond. It is a form of intermolecular attraction.


When electrons in a covelant bond are not equally shared?

This is a polar bond between two elements with different electronegativities
