Study Notes
Ionic and Covalent Bonds
- An ionic bond is not formed solely based on a small degree of polarization; this is a false statement.
- Compounds with a combination of X+Y- typically possess some degree of covalent character, indicating that this is true.
- When cations and anions approach each other, the cations can attract electrons from the outermost shell of anions, confirming this statement as true.
- A large degree of polarization often results in the formation of a covalent bond, supporting the idea that this is true as well.
