The electronegativity is 2.1 for h and 1.9 for pb. based on these electronegativities pbh4 would be expected to

PbH4 will be formed as a result of a polar covalent bond between the H and the Pb.

Since H is more electronegative than the Pb, it is, thus, expected that the H would be able to pull the electron charge towards itself. This will result in the H being negative.

Based on this:
PbH4 would be expected to <span>have polar covalent bonds with a partial negative charges on the H atoms. </span>

1. What are the differences between lonic and covalent bonds?

zaharov [31]

Answer: Ionic bonds result from transfer of electrons, whereas covalent bonds are formed by sharing. ... Ionic bonds are electrostatic in nature, resulting from that attraction of positive and negative ions that result from the electron transfer process; charge separation between covalently bonded atoms is less extreme.
