Question #5043
Can you tell me how periodic trends, such as electronegaticity or polarity, affect covalent and ionic bonding?
Expert's answer
Ionic bond formed between atoms with high difference in electronegativity.
Formally, if this difference is greater, than 1.7 bond called ionic. Good example is
sodium fluoride.
