Question

in your textbook, read about bond polarity. using the table of electronegativities on the preceding page, circle the letter of the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question. 8. unequal sharing of electrons between two bonded atoms always indicates a. a nonpolar covalent bond. c. a polar covalent bond. b. an ionic bond. d. a polar molecule.

Explanation:

• A non - polar covalent bond has equal sharing of electrons.
• An ionic bond is due to transfer of electrons, not sharing.
• A polar molecule is about the overall polarity of the molecule, not just the bond.
• A polar covalent bond is defined by unequal sharing of electrons between two bonded atoms.

Answer:

C. a polar covalent bond.
