Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) is covalent. This is determined because the compound begins with a nonmetal. When any compound begins with a nonmetal, it is covalent. If it were to begin with a metal, such as Magnesium Bromide, then it would be ionic due to the fact that the compound begins with a metal.

Is sulphur and carbon an ionic or a covalent bond?

Covalent because sulphur and oxygen both have six electrons on the outer shells so they can't give them away to be filled. they need to share. note: Sulphur Dioxide has one sulphur atom and two oxygen atoms.

Why does sulphur hexafluoride have a covalent bond?

Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) has a covalent bond because sulfur and fluorine atoms share electrons to form a stable octet structure. In this molecule, sulfur is surrounded by six fluorine atoms, with each sulfur-fluorine bond being a covalent bond.


What type of bond does phosphorus and sulphur make?

Phosphorus and sulfur can form a covalent bond when they chemically combine, sharing electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. This type of bond involves the sharing of electrons between the atoms.


A bond in which atoms share electrons is called a?

a covalent bond is when two atoms share a pair of electrons


What chemical bond that occurs when atoms share electrons?

covalent bond,coordinate bond and singlet bond


What type of bonding does sulphur hexafluoride have?

The bond Is Covalent which means it is formed from 2 non-metals reacting to form a molecule. The bond is very strong and when at room temperature the molecules are often gas or liquid however they can be found as solids at room temperature that melt very easily.
