What else can I help you with?
Is S and O ionic or covalent?
Polar covalent. The difference in electronegtivity is insufficient for an ionic bond
What type of bond forms between 2 iodine atoms?
An ionic bond - sodium and iodine form NaI, containing Na+ and I- ions.
Is Br2 an ionic or covalent?
Br2 is a covalent compound. It consists of two bromine atoms sharing electrons to form a covalent bond.
How many electron pairs go into the first shell polar covalent bond?
The first shell can hold up to 2 electrons. In a polar covalent bond, electrons are shared between atoms but are not necessarily equally shared. The number of electron pairs involved in a polar covalent bond will depend on the specific atoms involved and their electronegativity.
What element is a polar covalent bond?
No single element can form a bond. Only 2 or more elements can form bonds. Polar bonds occur when there is a dipole moment, or there is asymmetry in the structure. For example, HF forms a polar covalent bond.
Is O 2 a bond between atoms polar covalent bond?
The bond between oxygen atoms is considered as covalent.
Is S and O ionic or covalent?
Polar covalent. The difference in electronegtivity is insufficient for an ionic bond
How does the En of 2 atoms compare if the covalent bond between them is polar?
If by En you mean electronegativity, than in a polar covalent bond, the difference is 0.3 to 1.7.
What type of bond will 2 nonmetals form?
a covalent bond, and depending on the difference in electronegativivty this may be polar or non-polar
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
What type of bond is between 2 fluorine atoms?
Non-polar covalent.
What is the significance of an electronegativity difference of 1.7 and 2?
This is a characteristic of a polar covalent bond.
In a polar covalent bond the difference in the electronegativities of the two atoms in the bond is more than 0 but less than?
2
What type of bond will form between an atom of chlorine and bromine?
An atom of chlorine and an atom of bromine will form a covalent bond. Since both atoms are nonmetals, they will share electrons to complete their outer electron shells and achieve a more stable electron configuration.
Is Br2 an ionic or covalent?
Br2 is a covalent compound. It consists of two bromine atoms sharing electrons to form a covalent bond.
