Electronegativity dif. - dEN

0 > dEN > 0.6 ----> covalent (I think this is what you mean by "similar")

0.7 > dEN > 1.6 -----> polar covalent

1.7 > dEN > 4.0 ------> ionic

What type of bond is between Metals with nonmetals of similar electronegativities?

Generally, an ionic bond is formed between a metal atom and a non metal atom.


Is Si plus S a polar bond?

No, Si plus S do not form a polar bond as they are both nonmetals with similar electronegativities. Polar bonds form between atoms with different electronegativities.


What does a nonpolar covalent bond show about the electronegativities of its two atoms?

The electronegativities of two atoms are equal :)


How can the type of bond be predicted?

Ionic bond: the difference between electronegativities of the atoms is over 2.Covalent polar bond: the difference between electronegativities of the atoms is under 2.Covalent non-polar bond: the difference between electronegativities of the atoms is cca. zero


What does a non polar covalent bond show about electronegativities of its two atoms?

The electronegativities of it's two atoms are similar.


Is the bond formed between Si and C ionic polar covalent or nonpolar covalent?

The bond is polar covalent- the diffference in electronegativities is 0.65.


What is meant by a nonpolar covalent bond?

A nonpolar covalent bond occurs when two atoms share electrons equally because they have the same or similar electronegativities. This type of bond is formed between identical atoms or atoms with similar electronegativities, resulting in a symmetrical distribution of electrons. As a result, there is no separation of charge along the bond axis, making it nonpolar.


What bond is formed with Nitrogen and chlorine?

Covalent. Nonpolar covalent. Nitrogen and chlorine have very similar electronegativities. Therefore the electron will be shared equally between them and the bond will be nonpolar covalent. The larger the difference between the electronegativities the more polar the bond.


What is a chemical bond between 2 non-metals?

A covalent bond is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between two non-metal atoms. This bond forms when the atoms have similar electronegativities and want to achieve a stable electron configuration by sharing electrons.


What type of bond will form between C and H?

A nonpolar covalent bond will form between carbon (C) and hydrogen (H) due to the similar electronegativities of these elements. In this type of bond, the electrons are shared equally between the atoms.


What type of bond likely forms between F and C?

A covalent bond likely forms between fluorine (F) and carbon (C) due to their similar electronegativities. In a covalent bond, the atoms share electrons, creating a stable molecule.


Is O2 2- a polar covalent bond?

No, O2 2- is not a polar covalent bond. It is a covalent bond formed between two oxygen atoms. Since the two oxygen atoms are the same element and have similar electronegativities, the bond is nonpolar.
