covalent bonds generally form when the bonded elements have a difference in electronegativity less than 1.5. subtract the electronegativities for the following pairs of elements and predict whether they form a covalent bond. \nelectronegativity difference of n and h: \nionic \ncovalent \ndone
Answer
# Explanation:
## Step1: Find electronegativity values
From the given table, electronegativity of \(N = 3.0\), electronegativity of \(H=2.1\)
## Step2: Calculate the difference
\(\Delta\chi=\vert3.0 - 2.1\vert=0.9\)
Since \(0.9<1.5\), the bond is covalent.
# Answer:
Electronegativity difference of \(N\) and \(H\): \(0.9\); covalent
