Is SeBr covalent

Answer 1

Se2Br2 is covalent, both Se and Br are non-metals.

Answer 2

No, SeBr4 it is not a cation. The compound above is a molecular compound. The Selenium has more cationic traits then the bromide.

A neutral element has the same number of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons, thus giving the overall charge of zero. Cations are typically metals that have a charge. They have a charge because they have lost valence electrons. Because electrons are negatively charged, when an element looses them, there are more positively charged protons giving it positive character.

Answer 3

Yes, SeBr is a covalent compound. Selenium (Se) and bromine (Br) are nonmetals that form a covalent bond by sharing electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. This sharing of electrons allows the atoms to complete their outer electron shells and attain a more stable structure.

Answer 4

There are a number of selenium bromides, SeBr4, Se2Br2, and an unstable SeBr2, all of these are covalent.

Answer 5

Selenium dibromide is now only a hypothetically compound (can be identified only in spectra).

Answer 6

Non-Polar
