Please help! You have three elements, A, B, and C, with the following electronegativity values: A = 0.9 B = 3.0 C = 3.5 You react the elements to form the substances AB, AC, and BC. Answer the following questions: • What type of substance is AB? What types of bonds are present? Explain your answer. • What type of substance is AC? What types of bonds are present? Explain your answer. • What type of substance is BC? What types of bonds are present? Explain your answer. • If any of the substances are ionic compounds, which element is the cation and which is the anion? Explain your answer

Look af the difference in electronegativity. If it's more than 2 then it's ionic, if it's less it's covalent.

As for cation and anion, metals (small electronegativities) become cations and vice versa for nonmetals.
