Comparing their electronegativities will help determine the type of bond. is the tendency of a bonded atom to attract shared electrons to itself. The difference in electronegativity $(Delta"EN")$ is used...
1 Answers 1 viewsCovalent bonds result from the sharing of electrons between atoms. For homonuclear diatomics, i.e. $H_2$, $He_2^+$, $C_2$, $N_2$, $O_2$, the atoms participating in the molecule have EQUAL and do not...
1 Answers 1 viewsWhen electrons are unequally shared, it is a polar-covalent bond, and when one atom gets the electron exclusively the two charged ions form an ionic bond.
1 Answers 1 viewsThe electronegativity of the atoms involved in a covalent bond determines which will have more pull on the electrons shared between them. Because all atoms have different electronegativities, the only...
1 Answers 1 viewsNon polar covalent bond is the bond formed between two similar atoms in which the Electronegativity difference is zero eg - H---H While in polar covalent bond , there is...
1 Answers 1 viewsYou share in a covalent bond, and if they're shared perfectly equally, it's a 100% covalent bond. If they're not, it's partially ionic. Basically, when comparing covalent with ionic bonds,...
1 Answers 1 viewsTake ethylene $H_2C=CH_2$; around each carbon atom there are 4 . Two of these electrons combine with 2 hydrogen atoms (each with 1 electron) to form $2xxC-H$ bonds. Each carbon...
1 Answers 1 viewsBoth bonds result in forming of differentiating properties and structures. Atoms react in order to achieve stability. However, covalent bonds have a unique property that ionic bonds do not...
1 Answers 1 viewsWhere the $delta$ symbol denotes a little bit of (or partial) positive or negative charge. Dipoles are drawn from positive to negative. The overall dipole moment is the vector sum...
1 Answers 1 viewsThere are two types of covalent : 1. Non-polar bonding with an equal sharing of electrons. 2. Polar bonding with an unequal sharing of electrons. The number of shared electrons...
