CI2 does not exist. Cl2 with a lowercase L is the correct formula for chlorine gas. This is a covalent bond. Two atoms of the same element will never form an ionic bond with one another.

Is a covalent bond considered polar or nonpolar?

Both actually. It just depends on the electro-negativity of the atoms bonded together. If both have the same electro-negativity, it is a nonpolar covalent bond. Otherwise, you have a polar covalent bond.


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.


How can one determine if a bond is polar or nonpolar without relying on electronegativity?

One can determine if a bond is polar or nonpolar by looking at the symmetry of the molecule. If the molecule is symmetrical and the atoms on either side of the bond are the same, the bond is likely nonpolar. If the molecule is asymmetrical or the atoms on either side of the bond are different, the bond is likely polar.


Is the CO bond in carbon monoxide polar or nonpolar?

The CO bond in carbon monoxide is polar.


What happens when a polar covalent bond and a nonpolar covalent substance combine?

When a polar covalent bond and a nonpolar covalent substance combine, they may form a heterogeneous mixture where the polar and nonpolar components do not mix together. The polar and nonpolar substances will tend to separate due to their differing intermolecular forces.


Is the molecular polar?

No. It is nonpolar. The difference in electronegativity is 0.38, which means the H-S bond is nonpolar.


Is Be and Cl ionic polar or nonpolar?

Be and Cl form an ionic bond (BeCl2), and it is polar.


Is phenyl salicylate a ionic polar or non polar bond?

Phenyl salicylate has covalent bonds, which are typically nonpolar. The molecule is symmetrical and contains nonpolar functional groups, making it nonpolar overall.


Is there a polar bond in ch4?

C-H bond of it is polar.CH4 has four such bonds


Is O2 an example of a polar covalent bond or nonpolar covalent bond?

O2 is an example of a nonpolar covalent bond. In an O2 molecule, the oxygen atoms share electrons equally, resulting in a balanced distribution of charge and a nonpolar molecule.


What is the difference between a polar bond and a nonpolar bond?

A polar bond occurs when there is an unequal sharing of electrons between atoms, resulting in a slight positive and negative charge. A nonpolar bond occurs when there is an equal sharing of electrons, leading to no charge separation.


What is polar and nonpolar?

polar is thick and non-polar is ligt and will float to the top of whatever you put it in
