Decreasing electron negativity
A special case in bond polarity; polar in electron negativity but non-polar in nature
Carbon dioxide
EN Difference of 0-0.4
Non-polar covalent
EN Difference of 0.5-1.9
Polar covalent
EN Difference of 2+
Ionic
Attraction between metals and nonmetals
Ionic bonding
Characteristics of ionic compound
High melting point
Soluble in polar solvent
Conducts electricity
Happens between metal ions making metal lattice
Metallic bond
Characteristics of metallic bond
High melting and boiling point
Ductile and malleable
Non-volatile
Insoluble in water
Conducts electricity
Bonding between nonmetals
Covalent bond
Characteristics of covalent bond
Can he polar, nonpolar, coordinate
Low melting and boiling point
Insoluble in water but not in polar solvent
Insulates electricity
