Are carbon compounds formed by exchanging electrons with carbon?

False. Carbon has the ability to form very long chains of interconnecting C-C bonds. These bonds are nonpolar covalent, meaning they have an electronegativity value of 0 and share electrons rather than transferring them, as an ionic bond would.


Use the electronegativity chart to determine the type of bond that will form between this pair of elements. N plus N?

Since nitrogen (N) has an electronegativity value of 3.04, the bond between two nitrogen atoms will be a nonpolar covalent bond, as they have similar electronegativities. This means they will share the electrons equally.


What is the largest possible electronegativity difference for a bond to be covalent?

The largest possible electronegativity difference for a bond to be considered covalent is around 1.7. When the electronegativity difference between two atoms in a bond exceeds this value, the bond is usually considered ionic rather than covalent.


What is the measure of the ability to attract electrons in a chemical bond is?

You think probable to the value of electronegativity.


What best describes a bond with two unlike atoms?

It depends on the elements. Each element has an electronegativity value, which is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract electrons towards itself. The difference in electronegativity (EN) between the bonded atoms determines the type of bond; nonpolar covalent, polar covalent, or ionic. Refer to the related link for more information.


What is the electronegativity of argon?

There is no electronegativiy value in Argon.


The electronegativity value for Cesium is 0period7 the value for fluorine is 4 period 0 is the bond formed by combining what A polar covalent B covalent or C ionic?

ionic bond


What kind of bond is OF2?

As I originally stated in my original answer, the bonds in a molecule of OF2 are covalent. The electronegativity difference between them, according to the Pauling values is 0.54, which indicates a slightly polar covalent bond, in which Fluorine has the higher electronegativity value.


If the difference in electronegativity values between two atoms is more than 2.0 non-polar covalent bonds generally form?

True apex:)


Is salt a ionic compound or a covalent compound?

Take a look at their electronegativity values for this one. Electronegativity is the relative attraction that a atom in a molecule has for the shared pair of electrons in a covalent bond. Salt is Sodium Chloride which is NaCl. Na has an electronegativity value of 0.93. Cl has an electronegativity value of 3.16. The difference between the two is 2.23. This is much higher than 1.7 (a pure covalent bond e.g. Oxygen-Oxygen bond O2) therefore it is a highly ionic compound. If this was less than 1.7 it would be a polar covalent molecule.


How is electronegativitg difference used in determining the type of bond tha occurs between two atoms?

Answer The larger the difference in electronegativity the more ionic properties a bond is said to have. The smaller the difference in electronegativity the more covalent properties a bond is said to have The magic number is 1.7 , if electronegativity (EN) difference is less than 1.7 then it is covalent. if it is more, then its ionic bond.


Would the bond CI-CI be polar or nonpolar?

The bond CI-CI would be nonpolar because the two atoms involved (chlorine) have the same electronegativity value, so they will share the electrons equally, resulting in no charge separation along the bond.
