Question
The bonds in a molecule
may be partially ionic or partially covalent, but all bonds in the molecule will be the same.
may be more ionic, or more covalent, depending on the atoms bonding.
may be polar or not, but there is no difference between ionic and covalent bonds.
must be either all ionic, or all covalent.
a.may be partially ionic or partially covalent, but all bonds in the molecule will be the same.
b.may be more ionic, or more covalent, depending on the atoms bonding.
c.may be polar or not, but there is no difference between ionic and covalent bonds.
d.must be either all ionic, or all covalent.
Explanation / Answer
Correct answer: b. may be more ionic, or more covalent, depending on the atoms bonding.
Guide line for ionic or covalent bonds:
Electronegativity difference between bonded atoms = 0 then its nonpolar.
= more than 0 and less than 1.7 are polar covalent.
= greater than 1.7 are ionic.
