There is no general answer to this question: One of the strongest of covalent bonds is that between two nitrogen atoms in a nitrogen molecule, which is non polar covalent. In contrast, a carbon-carbon single bond, also usually non polar covalent, is relatively weak. The polar covalent bond between hydrogen and fluorine in the gas phase is very strong, while a hydrogen-iodine bond is relatively weak.

What melts faster a polar or a non polar covalent bond?

Polar covalent bonds generally melt faster than nonpolar covalent bonds. This is because polar covalent bonds have uneven distribution of electron density, leading to stronger intermolecular forces between molecules, making it easier to break the bonds.


Is it possible for a polar covalent compound to have a lower melting point than a non-polar covalent compound?

Yes, it is possible. Melting point is influenced by various factors beyond just the polarity of the compound, such as molecular size, shape, and intermolecular forces. A polar covalent compound with weaker intermolecular forces can have a lower melting point than a non-polar covalent compound with stronger intermolecular forces.


Which of these chemical bonds weakest non-polar covalent or polar covalent or hyrdrogen or ionic?

Hydrogen bonds are the weakest of the listed chemical bonds. They result from the attraction between a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to an electronegative atom (e.g., oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine) and another electronegative atom. Ionic bonds, polar covalent bonds, and non-polar covalent bonds are stronger than hydrogen bonds.


If two covalently bonded atoms are identical the bond is identified as?

If two covalently bonded atoms are identical, the bond is identified as a nonpolar covalent bond.


Why is a polar covalent bond stronger than a non-polar covalent bond?

Well! First some facs - H2 bond disocciation energy is 432 kJ/mol. This is greater than HCl (428 kcal/mol) so the simple statement is false. Pauling put this idea forward, he analysed bond strengths in terms of valence bond theory and the idea of resonance between a pure covalent bond and an ionic bond. Where the energy of the pure covalent and ionic was very close together there was a considereable strengthening of the bond. In the simple case of the hydrogen halides this criterion was met most closely by HF and the bond energy of this highly polar molecule was stronger than both the pure covalent or pure ionic forms. Pauling "invented" the concept of electrnegativity through this method of analysing bond strengths.
