26 fill in the blank 1 point the following image, represents a choose your answer... choose your answer... nonpolar covalent bond ionic bond polar covalent bond previous
A polar covalent bond occurs when electrons are shared unequally between atoms. In the image, the uneven distribution of electron density (indicated by the partial charges $\delta^+$ and $\delta^-$) shows that one atom has a stronger pull on the shared electrons. This is characteristic of a polar covalent bond. Non - polar covalent bonds have equal electron sharing (no partial charges), and ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons (not sharing as shown in the image).
