Question
what type of bond tends to form when two different non - metal atoms with fairly different electronegativity values, such as nitrogen and oxygen combine?
ionic bonds
nonpolar bonds
polar bonds
When two non - metal atoms with different electronegativities combine, electrons are not shared equally. In polar bonds, there is an unequal sharing of electrons due to the electronegativity difference. Ionic bonds form between a metal and a non - metal, and nonpolar bonds form between atoms with similar electronegativities.
