Take CBT

Question

How does electronegativity difference affect bond type?
Options
A ΔEN ≈ 0 → Ionic bond, Large ΔEN → Nonpolar covalent
B ΔEN ≈ 0 → Nonpolar covalent, Moderate ΔEN → Polar covalent, Large ΔEN → Ionic bond
Correct Answer
C ΔEN only affects metallic bonds
D Electronegativity difference has no effect
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Based on electronegativity difference: ΔEN ≈ 0 → Nonpolar covalent, Moderate ΔEN → Polar covalent, Large ΔEN → Ionic bond.

Hint

The notes provide this classification.
