Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The effect of electronegativity values on polarity of a bond is to be discussed.
Concept introduction:
- Ionic bond
- Chemical bond
- Coordinate bond
Answer to Problem 5RQ
If electronegative difference between the atoms is zero then pure covalent bond is formed.
If it is intermediate, then polar covalent bond is formed.
If the difference is large, ionic bond is formed.
Explanation of Solution
Ionic bonds are formed when there is complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another forming the bonds.
Covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons between the atoms forming the bonds
Polar covalent bond is formed between two different atoms.
Non-polar covalent bond is between two same atoms.
Thus, electronegative difference value depicts which type of bond is formed between two atoms.
Thus, electronegative values are helpful in determining the polarity of bond.
