Because it will just tell if the solution is acidic or basic, it won't tell the pH
Types of Bonds can be predicted by calculating the
difference in electronegativity.
If, Electronegativity difference is,
Less
than 0.4 then it is Non Polar Covalent
Between 0.4 and 1.7 then it is Polar Covalent
Greater than 1.7 then it is Ionic
For Be and F,
E.N of Fluorine = 3.98
E.N of Beryllium = 1.57
________
E.N Difference 2.41 (Ionic Bond)
For H and Cl,
E.N of Chorine = 3.16
E.N of Hydrogen = 2.20
________
E.N Difference 0.96 (Polar Covalent Bond)
For Na and O,
E.N of Oxygen = 3.44
E.N of Sodium = 0.93
________
E.N Difference 2.51 (Ionic Bond)
For F and F,
E.N of Fluorine = 3.98
E.N of Fluorine = 3.98
________
E.N Difference 0.00 (Non-Polar Covalent Bond)
Result:
A polar covalent bond is formed between Hydrogen and Chlorine atoms.
1. minimize
2. not buy the insurance
3. too expensive in relation to the value of his vehicle
