Lizelle Swanepoel asked the Naked Scientists:
I was wondering if one of your chemistry experts could give clarity on electronegativity difference values, please?
I use values of between 0.5 and 2 to show polar covalent compounds and smaller than 0.5 to be non-polar. Bigger than 2 is ionic.
Are these values correct? Thanks for your advice!
Kind regards
Lizelle
