Diatomic molecules have the same electronegativity, leading to equal sharing of electrons and a symmetric distribution of charge around the molecule. This balanced sharing results in nonpolar covalent bonds.

Is I2 an ionic bond?

I2 is a nonpolar covalent because it doesn't have only 2 atoms.


Is a diatomic molecule more likely to be held together by a covalent bond or ionic bond?

diatomic molecules are made up of two atoms. These two atoms can either be the same of different chemical elements. Depending on what elements are in place well that depends on what kind of bonding. For example in class i learned that a homo-nuclear diatomic molecule is non-polar and covalent.


Is H 2 Se polar?

polar H2O is POLAR because its NDM is # from zero


Why is it that diatomic molecules always form non polar covalent?

They do not. Diatomic molecules containing two atoms of the same elemnt are non-polar, for example Cl2 . When the atoms are of different elents then the bond may be polar depending on the difference in electronegativity, example HCl.

What is diatomic bond?

H-H That, H2, diatomic hydrogen many atoms are diatonic in their natural state. The bond is always covalent.


What type of of bonds do diatomic molecules such as h2 form?

Molecular hydrogen is bonded covalently (molecularly). Because it is composed of two atoms of just one element, their electronegativities will be the same, meaning they will attract electrons more or less equally. If this occurs, then the bond is called non-polar covalent.


Are molecules with two polar covalent bonds always polar molecules?

Not necessarily. A molecule with two polar covalent bonds may or may not be polar, depending on the overall molecular geometry and symmetry. If the polar bonds are symmetrically arranged and cancel each other out, the molecule could be nonpolar.


Why is it that diatomic molecules always form non- polar covalent bonds?

They do not. Diatomic molecules containing two atoms of the same elemnt are non-polar, for example Cl2 . When the atoms are of different elents then the bond may be polar depending on the difference in electronegativity, example HCl.


What happens when atoms form a covalent bond?

a) Must include a metal and a nonmetal b) Must be of different elements c) Are always of the same element d) Are always two metals Need Answer! :( D) Are always two metals. a) is for ionic compounds b) is for nonpolar covalent bonds c) same as nonpolar covalent bonds b) Must be of different elements:)


Two atoms of bromine react with each other to form what bond?

In any diatomic element it is always a covalent bond.


Given that it has the highest electronegativity can a flouride atom ever form a nonpolar covalent bond?

A fluorine atom can never form a nonpolar covalent bond because if you were to use the electronegativeity chart and subtract the second highest number with Fluorine, you get numbers that range from 0.6 (polar covalent) to 3.3 (ionic).
