Question

1, An ionic compound is formed when the _______ between the values of electronegativities of the two combining atoms is very large.
2, A __________ compound is formed when the difference between the values of electronegativities of the two combining atoms is very small

Answer 1

Explanation:

In ionic bonding, atoms transfer electrons to each other. Ionic bonds require at least one electron donor and one electron acceptor. ... We normally say that bonds between atoms with electronegativity difference (ΔEN) greater than 1.7 are ionic, although this really means only more than about half ionic in character.

Answer 2

Answer:

1. An ionic compound is formed when the difference between the value of electronegativity of the two combining atom is very large.

Answer: difference
