Covalent character.

[Nicholas Ryan 2K]

I know that the difference in electronegativity between the atoms in a bond determines it's covalent character, but what happens if the difference is right in the middle between "fully ionic" and "fully covalent" ?

the difference in between covalent and ionic would most likely be polar covalent

[Azlyn Hernandez 2E]

If the electronegativity difference between two atoms is in the middle range, the bond is considered polar covalent, involving partial electron sharing and a resulting dipole moment. This results in a partial separation of charge within the bond, with one end being partially negative and the other partially positive.
