Question

7 multiple choice 1 point
identify the type of bond in which bonding electrons are stolen by the more electronegative atom: no longer with the less electronegative atom.
polar covalent bond
nonpolar covalent bond
ionic bond

Explanation:

• In a polar covalent bond, due to the difference in electronegativity between atoms, the more electronegative atom has a greater attraction for the bonding electrons. This causes the electrons to be pulled more towards the more electronegative atom.
• In a non - polar covalent bond, the electrons are shared equally between the atoms as there is no significant difference in electronegativity.
• In an ionic bond, electrons are transferred completely from one atom (the less electronegative one) to another (the more electronegative one), which matches the description of bonding electrons being stolen by the more electronegative atom and no longer with the less electronegative atom.

Answer:

Ionic Bond
