How does a difference in electronegativity determine the type of bond between
elements?

Sagot :

Answer:

A high difference in electronegativity will be present in ionic compounds since the electrons are transffered from the element less electronegative to the element more electronegative.

A small difference in electronegativity is present in molecular compounds (covalent bonds). None of the elements is strong enough to attract the electrons so the electrons are shared.
