The name of the nonmetal in a binary compound with ionic bonds is modified to end in -ide. In ionic compounds with more than one nonmetal, including oxygen, other modifications of the name are used.

Is calcium dioxide a covalent or ionic bond?

As with all calcium compounds it is ionic. Though the proper chemical name is calcium peroxide in this case.


What is another name for the electrovalent bond?

Another name for the electrovalent bond is an ionic bond.


Covalent bonding metal or non metal?

Covalent bonding typically occurs between nonmetals. In covalent bonds, atoms share electrons to achieve a full outer shell and form stable molecules. Metals usually form metallic bonds, where electrons are delocalized and shared between all atoms in the metal lattice.


Does Fe2O3 have a polar covalent bond?

According to theory it has ionic bonding because a metal bonds with a non-metal. However, because there is not a large difference in electronegativity a bond is formed that is not exactly ionic nor covalent but an intermediate (the difference needs to be higher than 1.8 for an ionic bond to form, Fe has 1.8, O has 3.4 -> 1.6 difference). What this actually means is that Fe does not completely give away its three electrons to become Fe+3 because Oxygen doesn't attract them strong enough, or because Fe attracts them strongly too. Instead, they share the electrons as in a covalent bond. The bond is definitely polar (to give you an idea, the electronegativity difference between hydrogen and oxygen in water is 1.2, H has 2.2 and oxygen again 3.4. This gives rise to Hydrogen bonding, which is due to the polarity of the water molecule.). To conclude, the bond is an intermediate between an ionic and a covalent bond, and it is definitely polar.


Is cobalt 2 oxide a covalent or ionic bond?

Ionic. It would have to bind to a non-metal to do this. It can't be covalent because covalent is non-metal to non-metal. If it bonded to another metal though, it would be a metallic bond

What is the name of the ionic bond between Al and Br?

The ionic bond between aluminum (Al) and bromine (Br) is called aluminum bromide.


What is the name of a bond with a pair of elements that form a bond with the least ionic character?

A covalent bond typically has the least ionic character among chemical bonds. In a covalent bond, electrons are shared between atoms rather than transferred, leading to a more evenly distributed electron density. This results in a bond with a lower degree of ionic character compared to ionic or polar covalent bonds.
