What type of chemical bond will result if one atom has a relatively high electronegativity and the other has a relatively low electronegativity? What if both atoms have relativity high electronegativity?

Ionic bonds form when the electronegativities of two atoms vary significantly;

is that it? @LiteLegacy

anonymous · Answer

covalent bonds form when the electronegativities of the atoms are similar.

anonymous · Answer

Ionic bonds would contain elements from the left and right of the periodic table. Covalent would contain elements from the same side of the table or near. Electronegativity increases as you move to the right of the periodic table. (measuring valence electrons) Non-metals have higher electronegativity than metals
