Write the given.
Electronegativity of element oxygen : Electronegativity of element phosphorus :
Find the difference between the electronegativities of element O and P to determine the type of bonding. Complete the table below.
Bonded atoms | Difference in electronegativity | Type of bonding | More negative atom |
---|---|---|---|
O and P | Polar-covalent | Oxygen |
Since the electronegativity difference is , the type of bond is polar-covalent since it has an electronegativity difference greater than but less than . The more negative atom will be the element that has a higher electronegativity which is oxygen.
