Is dH20 covalent

Answer 1

Yes!

Remember: Any nonmetal combining with a nonmetal will most of the time be covalent

whether they are nonpolar or polar all depends on your electronegetivity

0-.3 non-polar covalent bond

.3-1.7 will be Polar covalent bond

and 1.7-4 will be ionic

these will be found by subtracting the electronegitivities of whatever bonds

ill list a few elements and their electronegetivity

Hydrogen- 2.1

lithium-1

sodium-.9

beryllium-1.5

Magnesium-1.2

Boron-2

Aluminum-1.5

Carbon2-.5

Silicon1.-8

Nitrogen-3

Phosphorus-2.1

Oxygen-3.5

Sulfur-2.5

Fluorine- 4

Chlorine- 3

Helium- NA

Neon- NA

Argon- NA

PS. you'll always have hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, Iodine, and astatine in a diatomic molecule

which means H2 N2 and so on

Answer 2

Yes, water (H2O) is a covalent compound. Covalent bonds form when two non-metal atoms share electrons to achieve a more stable electron configuration. In the case of water, the oxygen atom shares electrons with two hydrogen atoms to form covalent bonds.
