Question

how is electronegativity related to the ionic or covalent character of a bond?

A. if there is a large difference in electronegativity then the bond is more ionic in character. Whereas if the electronegativity of the atoms is more similar, the bond has a more covalent character.

B. electronegativity has nothing to do with bond character

C. a small difference in electronegativity is indicative of an ionic bond, and the opposite is true for a covalent bond

D. none of the above is correct

Answer 1

Answer is A.
Covalent means electronegativity is similar between two atoms therefore the atoms will share electron pairs.
Ionic means there is a large difference between electornegativity values therefore one atom will donate electrons and the other will take them.
