*

Determine the electronegativity difference (AEN) and the type of bond formed
(ionic, polar, non-polar).
BaCl2
Nyour answer

Answer 1

the electronegativity difference (AEN):

<0.5: covalent (non polar)

0.5- 1.7: covalent (polar)

> 1.7 : ionic

BaCl₂

Ba = 0.9

Cl = 3

Cl - B = 3 - 0.9 = 2.1 (ionic)
