Is an H2 molecule ionic polar covalent or purely covalent?
H2 is purely covalent, as are all diatomic molecules consisting of only one element.
Is AlPO4 ionic purely covalent or covalent?
It is Ionic
Why is most chemical bonding neither purely ionic nor purely covalent?
Because Purely covalent substances have no electrical charge. Take a molecule of Silicone Dioxide for instance, the Oxygen atoms are pulling in opposite directions, so their individual polarities cancel each other out, making the molecule pure. Not having electrical polarity or tendency. neither positive or negative. If a molecule does not have a charge, there is nothing to make it want to bond or react with other molecules or atoms. a Purely covalent substance is a "happy" or "content" substance. it wants to stay exactly as it is.
Is NF3 a purely covalent molecule?
The molecule is covalent, the N-F bonds are polar covalent.
Is the bond in O2 a pure covalent or a polar covalent?
Purely covalent bonds, because it is 'all-sided' symetrical.

Purely covalent bonds, because it is 'all-sided' symetrical.
What kind of bonds are formed - ethylene chloride?
purely covalent - there is a double covalent bond between the two carbons
Is CS2 ionic polar covalent or purely covalent?
No, as it consists of two nonmetals it is covalent.
Is methane an ionic or covalent bond?
Covalent bonds are between non-metals only. Methane is a hydrocarbon (CH4. Therefore it is COVALENTLY bonded because of the bonds between carbon (non-metal) and hydrogen (non-metal). Ionic compounds only apply to those made of metals and non-metals.
Do metalic elements and non-metalic elements form ionic bonds?
These bonds tend to be ionic. However, all bonds are somewhere between purely ionic and purely covalent.
Is CO a ionic compound or a pure covalent compound?
I'm not sure what you mean by "purely covalent", since the ionic-vs-covalent distinction is expressed in terms of electronegativity, which can take a range of values (higher values = more ionic). CO is very much a covalent compound though.
Does gelatin powder contain starch?
No, it doesn't contain starch. Gelatin is purely ground-up animal bone.
Is tap water a molecular compound?
Tap water is H2O (with some trace impurities). This makes it a covalent molecule.
