When hydrogen is bound to a strongly electronegative element, i.e. $O, N, F$, charge separation occurs as the heteroatom polarizes electron from the bond to acquire a partially negative charge....
1 Answers 1 viewsOn Mohs scale, isn't diamond assigned a $10$ on the basis of hardness? Halite is almost a purely ionic material.

1 Answers 1 viewsIonic bonds are stronger than covalent bonds due to following reasons - Ionic bonds result from the mutual attraction between oppositely charged ions while a Covalent Bond is a...
1 Answers 1 viewsBonds formed between non-metals are generally covalent bonds. Ionic bonds can ONLY be formed with a cation and an anion. Generally, these ions come from a metal (cation) and...
1 Answers 1 viewsWell, the one is a non-directional bond that derives from the interaction of like and unlike charged particles. And t'other is a strongly directional bond that results from the sharing...
1 Answers 1 viewsChemical bonds are formed by the sharing of electron densities between two atoms. The electron density of the atoms is held between the two atoms and attracted to the positive...
1 Answers 1 viewsSomething worth knowing about deciding between nonpolar and polar is that only two of the same element can form an ideally nonpolar bond. With this in mind, the $"Br"-"Br"$...
1 Answers 1 viewsaccounts for the physical properties of metals: malleability; ductility; electrical and thermal conductivity; lustre. Some metals have more to contribute to the metallic network. The alkali metals...
