Hydrogen gas is formed by air-born H2 molecules. Each H2 molecule consists of 2 hydrogen atoms, covalently bonded by overlapping 1s electron orbitals. So no, hydrogen gas is not an ionic bond, it is a covalent bond.

ionic bond!


Is hydrogen gas an ionic or molecular bond?

Hydrogen gas consists of diatomic molecules, where two hydrogen atoms are bonded together by a covalent bond. It is not an ionic bond because there are no transfer of electrons between the hydrogen atoms.


Is hydrogen an ionic bond?

If you mean is the bond in hydrogen gas, H2 ionic then the answer is no.


Is a hydrogen bond is stonger than an ionic bond?

No, an ionic bond is considerably stronger than a hydrogen bond.


Does HCl have an ionic bond?

Hydrogen Chloride (the gas) has covalent bonds, but Hydrochloric acid forms ionic bonds. As to why this occurs, I am clueless


Is salts hydrogen bonded?

Salt has an ionic bond, not a hydrogen bond.


Is a hydrogen bond stronger that an ionic bond?

No, hydrogen bonds are weak in comparison to both ionic and covalent bonds.


Is oxygen and hydrogen a ionic bond?

No, oxygen and hydrogen do not form an ionic bond. When oxygen and hydrogen bond to form water, they share electrons in a covalent bond, where electrons are shared between the atoms rather than transferred.


Can hydrogen and oxygen form an ionic bond?

No, hydrogen and oxygen do not form an ionic bond. They typically form a covalent bond when they combine to make water (H2O). In this bond, they share electrons instead of transferring them.


Which sequence below represents the proper order of increasing bond strength?

Hydrogen bond < Van der Waals < Dipole-dipole < Ionic bond < Covalent bond Van der Waals < Hydrogen bond < Dipole-dipole < Covalent bond < Ionic bond Hydrogen bond < Van der Waals < Dipole-dipole < Covalent bond < Ionic bond The correct order is option 3: Hydrogen bond < Van der Waals < Dipole-dipole < Covalent bond < Ionic bond.


How is a hydrogen bond different from a ionic bond?

Covalent and ionic bonds all have a shared pair of electrons and hydrogen has a pair of unshared electrons.


Do hydrogen and oxygen create an ionic bond?

No. They form a covalent bond.
