No. A hydrogen bond occurs when H is bonded to a strongly electronegative element like oxygen in a compound. The oxygen attracts the electrons in the bond stronger than the hydrogen setting up partial positive and partial negative charges in the H and O respectively in a single molecule. A nearby molecule with the same charges will be attracted (opposites attract, even with these partial charges.) This attraction from one molecule to another is a hydrogen bond because it involves the hydrogen atom with a partial positive charge.

Is CH3Li ionic or a covalent bond?

Ionic Well it is at least partially covalent (H-C). However, according to my OChem book it's 100% covalent but the C-Li bond is strongly polar. Apparently a bond is generally ionic if the electronegative difference between the two atoms is greater than 1.9 C =2.5 LI=1.0 2.5-1.0<1.9 therefore the bond is covalent.

What is a description of the ionic bond and the covalent bond?

An example of covalent bond is ;H + H=H2 as covalent means sharing of electrons molecules is involved in covalent bond not ions. an example of ionic bond is; H+ + Cl-=H+Cl-


Is CH ionic or covalent?

C-H is a covalent bond because the electronegativity varies by less than 0.5 units


Why is the covalent bonds weak?

Covalent bonds are not inherently weak; they are strong bonds formed by sharing electrons between atoms. However, the strength of a covalent bond can vary depending on the atoms involved and the specific conditions. In some cases, covalent bonds can be weaker than other types of bonds like ionic or metallic bonds.


What bond does salol have?

Salol has both ionic and covalent bonds. It contains an ionic bond between the sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) ions, and covalent bonds between the carbon (C) and hydrogen (H) atoms in the molecule.


What kind of bond is HCI?

Ionic bond between H+ ions and I- ions in HI molecule.


Is C2H5OH a ionic or convalent bond?

C2H5OH, which is the chemical formula for ethanol, contains both ionic and covalent bonds. The bonds within the molecule are primarily covalent, which involve the sharing of electrons between atoms. However, ethanol can also form weak hydrogen bonds in its liquid state.


What kind of bond is C and H?

Covalent


Will H and Cl make an Ionic or molecular bond?

H and Cl will form a polar covalent bond when they combine. This is because hydrogen has a slight positive charge and chlorine has a slight negative charge, leading to a sharing of electrons in a covalent bond rather than a transfer of electrons in an ionic bond.


Is HP an ionic or covalent bond?

The bond between P and H is covalent, eg in PH3


H + Br ionic or covalent?

When hydrogen (H) and bromine (Br) combine to form hydrogen bromide (HBr), they form a covalent bond rather than an ionic bond. This is because both hydrogen and bromine are nonmetals and tend to share electrons in order to achieve a stable electron configuration.
