It represents the boundary between what is considered to be an ionic or a covalent bond.
The bond formed is nonpolar covalent if the difference in electronegativity between two atoms is between 0 and 0.5. This means that the electrons are shared equally between the atoms in the bond.

An electronegativity difference of less that 1.7 between the atoms
It represents the boundary between what is considered to be an ionic or a covalent bond.
It represents the boundary between what is considered to be an ionic or a covalent bond.
The bond formed is nonpolar covalent if the difference in electronegativity between two atoms is between 0 and 0.5. This means that the electrons are shared equally between the atoms in the bond.
Ionic bond: the difference between electronegativities of the atoms is over 2.Covalent polar bond: the difference between electronegativities of the atoms is under 2.Covalent non-polar bond: the difference between electronegativities of the atoms is cca. zero

An electronegativity difference of less that 1.7 between the atoms
The type of bond that forms between atoms or compounds is determined by the electronegativity difference between the atoms involved in the bond. If the electronegativity difference is small, a covalent bond forms, where electrons are shared. If the electronegativity difference is large, an ionic bond forms, where electrons are transferred.
The type of bond between two atoms can be predicted based on their electronegativity difference: If the electronegativity difference is small (typically < 0.5), the bond is nonpolar covalent. If the electronegativity difference is moderate (between 0.5 and 1.7), the bond is polar covalent. If the electronegativity difference is large (typically > 1.7), the bond is ionic.
