Bond Type That Will Form Electronegativity Difference Non-polar Covalent (electrons shared equally) < 0.5 Polar Covalent (electrons shared unequally) 0.5 - 2.0 Ionic (One atom takes electrons from the other) > 2.0 Nitrogen (N) has an electronegativity of 3.04, and Oxygen (O) has an electronegativity of 3.4. What type of bond would atoms of these elements likely form together? Ionic Bond Hydrogen bond Polar covalent Bond Non-polar covalent bond
