Electronegativity

[Jacob Samuels 1E]

When electronegativity > 2, then it’s an ionic bond and when electronegativity < 1.5, then it’s a covalent bond. But what happens when electronegativity is between 1.5 and 2?

[Allen Chen 1J]

I believe that since the 1.5 and 2 parameters are merely rough guidelines with uncertainty, then the region in between just has greater uncertainty

[Bryan Jiang 1F]

One would have to look at properties other than electronegativity difference to tell what kind of bond is present.

[Samantha Castro 1D]

I also believe that you would need to look at more properties other than electronegativity to determine the type of bond.

[Sonia Aronson 1B]

It kinda just depends on the type of molecules

I learned in highschool that
0.0-0.2 nonpolar covalent
0.3-1.4 polar covalent
>1.5 ionic
but that might be different for this class!
