Hi there,
If i am right the bonds formed between any atoms depend on the satisfaction of Octet rule. So as the fluorine atom has seven electron in the last shell it well be needing one more to complete its octet.
So it will share that electron from the other fluorine.. End of the process the answer is definitely ONE COVALENT BONDbetween two fluorine atoms..
the atoms share electrons
A covalent bond would form between these atoms. Covalent bonds involve atoms sharing electrons.
Covalent. There is no electronegativity difference between two atoms of the same element.
Covalent.
A covalent bond will be formed between these two atoms. As a reule of thumb, a two nonmetals will always forma covalent bond.
No. the electronegativity difference between two fluorine atoms in F2 is zero and hence non-polar covalent bond is formed.
The words "covalent" and "ionic" refer to bonds between atoms, and not atoms themselves. If you are referring to O2 and F2, the forms in which we find oxygen and fluorine, respectively, then the bond between the two oxygens is considered to be non-polar and covalent. The same can be said of the bond between the two fluorine atoms in F2. If you are referring to the bonds in the compound formed by oxygen and fluorine, you must first identify that compound. It is OF2, and is named "fluorine oxide". The bonds between the oxygen and fluorine in fluorine oxide are slightly polar and covalent. The determining property is "electronegativity", which you should look up and review. By convention, when the electronegativity difference between atoms is: < about 0.4, the bond between them is non-polar and covalent between about 0.4 - 1.7, then bond between them is polar and covalent > 1.7, then bond between them is ionic.
Fluorine's electronegativity is 3.98. The difference between two fluorine atoms is 0, so the bond between two fluorine atoms is nonpolar covalent.
Covalent. The bond is polar due to the high electronegativity of fluorine.
Fluorine atoms have a covalent bond between each other to form a covalent molecule. Fluorine bonded to a metal will have ionic bonds. Fluorine bonded to a non-meatl will have polar covalent bonding.
covalent bonds are formed when electrons are shared between atoms.
the atoms share electrons
Non-polar covalent.
Fluorine atoms have a covalent bond between each other to form a covalent molecule. Fluorine bonded to a metal will have ionic bonds. Fluorine bonded to a non-meatl will have polar covalent bonding.
Yes,when electrons are shared between two atoms covalent bond is formed
A compound is formed from atoms. Covalent bond is weaker.
Covalent bonds and dative (coordinate) bonds are formed are formed by sharing electrons between the bonding atoms.
