Can a bond be 100 percent covalent?

A bond made out of two atoms of the same element would be 100% covalent at an instance that the electrons are positioned symmetrically along the central axis. Practically, there are no 100% covalent bonds existing.


Is the percentage of the bond Br2 100 percent polar covalent?

No, it is nonpolar covalent as it is only one element.


Is CH3Li ionic or a covalent bond?

Ionic Well it is at least partially covalent (H-C). However, according to my OChem book it's 100% covalent but the C-Li bond is strongly polar. Apparently a bond is generally ionic if the electronegative difference between the two atoms is greater than 1.9 C =2.5 LI=1.0 2.5-1.0<1.9 therefore the bond is covalent.


What is the percent ionic character of O-F?

The percent ionic character of a bond can be estimated using the formula: Percent Ionic Character = 1 - e^(-0.25*x), where x is the electronegativity difference between the two atoms. For an O-F bond, the electronegativity difference is 3.5 (O) - 4.0 (F) = 0.5. Plugging this into the formula gives a percent ionic character of approximately 52%.


Why every bond in Chemistry is not 100 percent ionic?

Ionic Bonds are the transfer of electrons usually between a non metal and a metal ( Na + Cl is an ionic bond). It is generally a weak bond so it is easy to break it (Mixing salt with water) The other major type of bond is covalent where both atoms share electrons. With this sharing of covalent bonds it could be unequal because of the electronegativity (how strong the attraction of electrons is) of the different atoms. Water is very polar because Oxygen is more electronegative than the two oxygens. Ionic- Transfer of electrons Covalent- Sharing of electrons

Is it possible to have a fact with over a 100 percent?

No; it is not possible.

What is the type of bond which holds water molecule together?

Polar Covalent - Polar covalent bonds are intermediate to ionic and covalent bonds. Polar covalent bonds form between atoms of different elements and occur when neither element has a strong enough attraction (electronegativity) for the electrons to remove them completely from one another (ionic), but also in which their attractions for the electrons are not equal (covalent). The result of this is that the electrons spend more time orbiting one atomic nucleus than the other. One atom now has a negative charge more than 50 percent of the time, but less than 100 percent and the other atom involved has a positive charge more than 50 percent of the time, but less than 100 percent. The bond is not ionic and not covalent, but rather polar covalent. That sounds more what water is.


The dipole measured for is 0.380 The bond distance is 161 What is the percent ionic character of the bond?

To calculate the percent ionic character of a bond, you can use the equation: % Ionic Character = (1 - exp(-0.025*dipole/bond distance))100. Plugging in the values given, you would get % Ionic Character = (1 - exp(-0.0250.380/161))*100. Solving this will give you the percent ionic character of the bond.


How do you write 11percent as a fraction?

To write 11 percent as a fraction, you divide the percent by 100 and simplify the fraction if possible. In this case, 11 percent is written as 11/100.


How do you change a percent bigger than 100 to a fraction?

Just put it over 100. 168 percent = 168/100


What is 100 percent of 409?

100% of anything is that anything. Just to confuse you even further, should that be possible, 409 percent of 100 is Yeah.... but im short the answer is 409.
