No, O2 2- is not a polar covalent bond. It is a covalent bond formed between two oxygen atoms. Since the two oxygen atoms are the same element and have similar electronegativities, the bond is nonpolar.

What type of bond forms between 2 iodine atoms?

An ionic bond - sodium and iodine form NaI, containing Na+ and I- ions.


How can the type of bond be predicted?

Ionic bond: the difference between electronegativities of the atoms is over 2.Covalent polar bond: the difference between electronegativities of the atoms is under 2.Covalent non-polar bond: the difference between electronegativities of the atoms is cca. zero


What do polar and non polar molecules have to do with covalent compounds?

Covalent compounds bond by sharing a pair of electrons. The molecule HCl has a polar covalent bond between the H and the Cl atoms. The Cl atom has a stronger attraction for the pair of electrons, so the electrons will move closer to the Cl atom, making the Cl end of the molecule negative and the H end positive. The O2 molecule has 2 O atoms sharing 2 pairs of electrons. The slectrons are shared equally, so the bond is nonpolar


Is S and O ionic or covalent?

Polar covalent. The difference in electronegtivity is insufficient for an ionic bond

When two atoms equally share electrons what will they will interact to form?

When two atoms equally share electrons, they will interact to form a covalent bond. In a covalent bond, the atoms share electrons in order to achieve a stable electron configuration, typically resulting in the formation of a molecule.
