Chapter 3, Problem 3.98AP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The type of bond formed between fluorine and hydrogen has to be classified as nonpolar, polar covalent or ionic.

Concept Introduction:

If the electronegative difference between the two atoms is less than $\text{0}\text{.5}\text{units}$ the type of bond is nonpolar.

If the electronegative difference between the two atoms is $\text{0}\text{.5-1}\text{.9}$ units then the type of bond is polar covalent.

If the electronegative difference between two atoms is greater than $\text{1}\text{.9}$ units then the type of bond is ionic.
