Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You have two elements, A (electronegativity of 1.0) and B (electronegativity of 3.0). What type of bond would you expect to form between these two elements?
💡 Hint: Consider the general rule for ionic bonding: typically, a difference greater than 1.7 indicates ionic bonding.
Consider a compound made up of nitrogen and chlorine. Determine the type of bond formed and explain your reasoning based on their electronegativities.
💡 Hint: Think about the electronegativity values for both elements and compare them.
