Question

1. choose the best answer.

two elements have an electronegativity difference of 2.3.
what type of bond will form between them?
nonpolar covalent
polar covalent
ionic

Explanation:

• Non - polar covalent bonds have an electronegativity difference of \(0 - 0.4\).
• Polar covalent bonds have an electronegativity difference of \(0.4 - 1.7\).
• Ionic bonds have an electronegativity difference of \(>1.7\).
• Given an electronegativity difference of \(2.3>1.7\).

Answer:

ionic
