Iodide compounds with alkali metals are considered ionic- but because of the electronegativity of Iodine, 2.66, some metals such as gallium bond to iodine with polar covalent bonds. Organic iodes such as methyl iodide, ethyl iodide are covalently bonded, (polar covalent)

Is sodium iodide polar or non polar?

Sodium iodide is an ionic compound, so it does not have traditional covalent bonds and is not classified as either polar or nonpolar.


Is potassium iodide a polar covalent compound?

Yes, potassium iodide is a polar covalent compound. It consists of potassium, a metal, and iodide, a nonmetal, resulting in unequal sharing of electrons between the two atoms. This unequal sharing creates a partial positive charge on potassium and a partial negative charge on iodide, making it a polar molecule.

Why lithium iodide is covalent in nature?

Lithium iodide is considered covalent in nature because lithium is a metal and iodine is a nonmetal, resulting in the formation of a polar covalent bond between them. The electronegativity difference between lithium and iodine is not large enough to form an ionic bond. As a result, lithium iodide exhibits covalent characteristics.
