1)
Step 1: Find out electronegativity of both elements
Step 2: Find out the difference in electronegativity
Step 3: Use the following table to determine the character of bond. Note that the values in the below table are approximate values and not exact. This is because there is no well defined criteria that when does a polar covalent bond transitions to an ionic one and hence, different people use different table.
Electronegativity difference | Bond Character |
Greater than 1.7 | Ionic |
Lesser than 1.7 but greater than 0.4 | Polar Covalent |
Lesser than 0.4 | Non-polar Covalent |
a)
Electronegativity of K = 0.82
Electronegativity of Cl = 3.16
Difference = 3.16 - 0.82 = 2.34
Thus, this is an ionic bond
b)
Electronegativity of N = 3.04
Electronegativity of N = 3.04
Difference = 3.04-3.04 = 0
Thus, this is a non-polar covalent bond
c)
Electronegativity of C = 2.55
Electronegativity of S= 2.58
Difference = 2.58-2.55 = 0.03
Thus, this is a non-polar covalent bond
d)
Electronegativity of C = 2.55
Electronegativity of Cl = 3.16
Difference = 3.16-2.55 = 0.61
Thus, this is a polar covalent bond

POLARITY We've already talked about electronegativity and how to predict whether a bond is polar or nonpolar. For example: Pure covalent bond = sharing of electrons between two identical atoms (with the same electronegativity and no difference in charge) i.e. O2 Polar covalent bond = sharing of electrons between two or more different atoms with a difference in electronegativity. i.e. HCI Just as a bond can be polar or nonpolar, we can also classify an entire molecule as polar or...
3) Consider the Lewis structure for CH3COH shown below. Draw polar bonds as arrows instead of the lines, and determine whether the molecule is polar overall. 4) Draw in the polar bonds on the Lewis diagrams below. Are CH3OH and H20 polar or non-polar overall? Are they miscible or immiscible? 5) Draw in the polar bonds on the Lewis diagrams below. Determine if each substance is polar or non-polar overall, then whether a homogeneous or heterogeneous solution forms when the substances are...
Classify the bonds formed between each pair of elements based on electronegativity values in the following table: Element Sc Be H P S I Br Cl O F Electronegativity 1.3 1.5 2.1 2.1 2.5 2.5 2.8 3.0 3.5 4.0 S-I,,,,,H-Br,,,,H-P,,,,S-O,,,,Be-F,,,,Be-Cl,,,,Sc-O Ionic: polar covalent: nonpolar covalent:
In a covalent bond between two atoms, the more electronegative atom will attract more electron density toward itself, producing a polar bond. The more electronegative element will carry a partial negative charge, whereas the less electronegative element will carry a partial positive charge. The direction of the bond dipole is always toward the more electronegative element. This is often indicated by an arrow, as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the bond polarity can be estimated by using the...
A covalent bond is a bond in which electrons are shared between atoms of elements. A covalent bond can be polar or nonpolar. In a nonpolar covalent bond, the bond is between two identical atoms and the electrons are evenly shared between the atoms.In contrast, in a polar covalent bond, the bond is between two nonidentical atoms and the electrons are unevenly shared between the atoms. The uneven sharing of electrons takes place because of the difference in the electronegativity...
