No
Non-polar covalent bonds occur between two nonmetals that have similar electronegativities. Metals and nonmetals have significantly different electronegativities, so they tend to form ionic bonds or polar covalent bonds instead of non-polar covalent bonds. Metals usually donate electrons to nonmetals to achieve stability, resulting in the formation of ionic bonds or polar covalent bonds due to the difference in electronegativities.
Well, typically we are told that a metal and non metal form ionic bonds. However, when you get a metal and a non metal that are not so far apart on the electronegativity scale, like Cu(1.9) and S(2.5), you get a bond that is polar, and mostly ionic but with a fair bit of covalent character. So CuS is not totally ionic as one might think.
Benzoic acid is a polar covalent molecule due to the electronegativity difference between carbon and oxygen. The carboxyl group in benzoic acid contains a polar covalent bond between the carbon and oxygen atoms, making the molecule overall polar.
No, Na-S bond is ionic as sodium (Na) is a metal and sulfur (S) is a non-metal. Ionic bonds form between metals and non-metals, where electrons are transferred from the metal to the non-metal to complete their outer electron shell.
Well an Ionic bond is between a metal and a non metal, and Covalent bonds are between non metals, so yeah this is a covalent bond, where the particles share electrons, because Carbon, Oxygen and Hydrogen are non metals. No charges to worry about either! Much easier
Yes, it is possible.
Yes, it is possible.
No. The difference in electronegativity is too great.
polar bonds are non metals bonded to non metals and non polar covalent bonds are bonds sharing electrons.....
