Is aluminum an covelant ionic or polyatomic?

Aluminium is a chemical element, metal and form ionic bonds.


How can you determine the type of chemical bond a substance has?

If you mean ionic, covelant or metallic: Metallic bonding is between 2 metal atoms. Ionic bonding is betwen non metal and metal atoms. Covelant bonding is between 2 non-metals.


How is ionic bond different from a covelant bond?

An ionic bond involves a transfer of electrons from one atom to another . Covalent bonds involve a sharing.


Do ionic bonds have a greater or lesser electronegativity difference between them than a covalent bond?

The difference in electronegativity between two elements bonded into a compound by ionic bonds is almost always greater than the difference in electronegativity between two elements bonded into a compound by covalent bonds.


Is C2O a ionic or covelant bond?

The bond between carbon and oxygen in C2O is considered to be covalent, as both carbon and oxygen atoms share electrons to form a stable bond. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, which is not the case in this molecule.


Is silver nitrate a covalent bond?

Silver Nitrate is not a covelant bond it is and Ionic


Are ionic bonds non polar?

No. Ionic bonds are ionic, in which the difference of electronegativities between the atoms forming the bond are greater than 1.7. Nonpolar bonds are covalent bonds in which the difference of electronegativities of the atoms forming the bond is less than 0.5.


Is Be plus Cl a ionic bond?

since the electromagnetic difference between the 2 is less than 1.7.. it is NOT an ionic bondionic bonds have a difference of greater than 7covalent bonds are less than 1.7 difference


Does ionic bonds have high or low resistance?

Ionic bonds do not conduct electricity in their pure form, so they have high resistance. However, when an ionic compound is dissolved in water or melted, its ions are free to move and conduct electricity, giving it low resistance.


What is the major difference between ionic and covalent bonds?

The major difference between ionic and covalent bonds is how electrons are shared between atoms. In an ionic bond, electrons are transferred from one atom to another, creating ions that are attracted to each other. In a covalent bond, electrons are shared between atoms, resulting in a sharing of electron density between the atoms.


Why is the electronegativity difference of 1.7 important as a line on a graph?

It's so you can easily tell the difference between Covalent Bonds and Ionic Bonds by looking at the graph. Above the 1.7 line is Ionic Bonds and below the 1.7 mark is Covalent Bonds.


What are three differences between ionic bonds and covelant bonds?

Ionic bonds are formed between metal atoms and non-metal atoms. The metal atoms lose electrons and form positive ions, but the non-metal atoms gain electrons and form negative ions. Since the atoms both now have opposite charges, they are attracted to each other and form an ionic bond.However, covelant bonds are formed between two or more non-metal atoms. The atoms share electrons rather than losing or gaining electrons from each other.
