[03.04]Based on the electronegativity values shown in the table below, which element would you expect to form a nonpolar covalent compound when combined with chlorine (Cl)?

On the Pauling scale periodic table, chlorine (Cl) is 3.0; copper (Cu) is 1.9; fluorine (F) is 4.0; lithium (Li) is 1.0; nitrogen (N) is 3.0

Cu

F

Li

N

Remember what we just said about electronegativities and covalent bonds? .-.

lovelyharmonics · Answer

Not really c:

somy · Answer

take a look at all values 
the one that is closest to Cl electronegativity value 
will for non polar covalent bond

somy · Answer

form*

somy · Answer

so which one do u think?

lovelyharmonics · Answer

Nitrogen c:

somy · Answer

bingo :)

sweetburger · Answer

but NCl3 is extremely polar am I reading this wrong wouldn't it just be Cl2 diatomic chlorine

ipwnbunnies · Answer

Diatomic chlorine isn't an option. .-.
Maybe they're referring to cyanide lololol

somy · Answer

its nit in options tho

somy · Answer

yup yup

sweetburger · Answer

i mean nitrogen is the best answer, but i dont feel its correct

sweetburger · Answer

random, but how do u like UCF's engineering

ipwnbunnies · Answer

UCF engineering program is good I suppose. :3  I'm more involved with CREOL, the College of Optics and Photonics doh. One of the best schools for education in that stuff :3

sweetburger · Answer

I'll have to look up CREOL don't know much about thanks for the info.
