Atoms Formula Electronegativity Difference (ED) Type of Bond Remarks

Si (1.8) – (2.1) P = ED Si – P= 0.3 Nonpolar Covalent Bond It is an Ionic Bond at first look
since it is a combination of Semi-
Metal and Non-Metal. However,
SiP the Absolute value of the =|-0.3|x
(-1) is 0.3. So, it is a Nonpolar
Covalent Bond
K (0.8) – (3.0) Cl= ED K – Cl = 2.2 Ionic Bond It is an Ionic Bond based on the
combination of Alkali Metal and
Halogen.
KCl In addition, the Absolute value of
the =|-2.2|x (-1) is 2.2 which is
within the range of Ionic bond.
P (2.1) – (2.8) Br = ED P – Br = 0.7 Polar Covalent Bond A combination of Non-metals and
Halogens, and the Absolute value
PBr of the =|-0.7|x (-1) is 0.7 which
both clues qualify as Polar.
Mg (1.2) – (3.5) O = ED Mg – O = 2.3 Ionic Bond A combination of Alkaline Earth
metal and non-metal. In addition,
MgO the Absolute value =|-2.3|x (-1) is
2.3 which is within the range of
Ionic Bond
Al (1.5) – (2.5) S = ED Al – S = 1 Polar Covalent Bond It is an Ionic Bond at first look
since it is a combination of Basic
Metal and Non-metal. However,
AlS the Absolute value of the =|-1|x (-
1) is 1 which qualify it to be a Polar
Covalent Bond.
Se (2.4) – (2.1) H = ED Se – H = 0.3 Nonpolar Covalent Bond It is a combination of both Non-
SeH metals and has a difference of 0.3
which qualify it to be a Nonpolar

Covalent Bond.
I (2.5) – (3.5) O = ED I-O=1 Polar Covalent Bond It is a combination of Halogen and
Non-metals and has an Absolute
IO value =|-1|x (-1) of 1 which both
qualify it to be a Polar Covalent
Bond.
Na (0.9) – (4) F = ED Na – F = 3.1 Ionic Bond It is a combination of Alkali Metal
and Halogen and has an Absolute
NaF value =|-3.1|x (-1) of 3.1 which
both qualify it to be an Ionic Bond.

Rb (0.8) – (3) Cl = ED Rb – Cl = 2.2 Ionic Bond It is a combination of Alkali Metal

and Halogen and has an Absolute
RbCl value =|-2.2|x (-1) of 2.2 which
both qualify it to be an Ionic Bond.
Si (1.8) – (3) Cl = ED Si – Cl = 1.2 Polar Covalent Bond It is an Ionic Bond at first look
since it is a combination of Semi-
Metal and Halogen. However, the
SiCl Absolute value =|-1.2|x (-1) is 1.2
which qualify it to be a Polar
Covalent Bond.
