I don't know...
If the difference in electronegativities between the two atoms is 2.0, or greater, the bond is ionic.
Here the electronegativity is 2.34 so it's an ionic bond.
But then they have given us the electronegativity table and has asked us to determine the bond type using that right? So I thought she knew about the electronegativity.
The ability for one atom to bind to another?
I'm sorry I'm horrible at chem my teacher gives me quizes and doesn't explain anything
it is the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons
Okay, so how would I figure this out?
OH i read your question wrong I didnt catch the ectronegativity chart @Rushwr i am sorry!
they have given us the electronegativity of K and Cl Find the difference if it is greater than 2 they are considered as ionic bonds
got it ?
I'm trying to figure it out now one sec sorry my comp is being slow today
the difference was 2.34 so it is ionic? @Rushwr
Nonpolar covalent has an electronegtivity difference of 0.2 - 0.5. A polar covalent has an electronegtivity difference less than 1.6. Ionics have an electronegativity greater than 2.0. Yes, 2.34 is greater than 2, so it is ionic.
Okay what about this one?
Lets say this is the periodic table|dw:1442591503283:dw|
