Best Answer

NO2^-, the nitrite anion, is made with covalent bonds between N and O. It is polar. When combined with a metal atom, it forms an ionic bond, such as in NaNO2.

Is the bond formed between Si and C ionic polar covalent or nonpolar covalent?

The bond is polar covalent- the diffference in electronegativities is 0.65.


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+

What type of bond does Cl and F have?

The bond between F and Cl is a polar covalent bond. Fluorine is very electronegative and Cl is not as much. The difference is large enough to be considered polar.

O2 , dioxygen has a non-polar covalent bond. With other elemnts, oxygen can form covalent bonds (generally polar) and ionic bonds as the O2- ion


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

In the increasing order, they are non polar covalent bond < polar covalent bond < ionic bond.


Is SnF4 a polar or nonpolar covalent bond or ionic?

SnF4 wold be a nonpolar molecule, but it has polar covalent bonds. But since there are 4 of them, all equal, they cancel each other and thus the molecule itself is non polar.
