Question

bonding of atoms in reactions quick check
approximately in which range of electronegativity differences would polar covalent bonds occur? (1 point)
-1.0 to 0
0.5 to 1.7
0 to 1.0
0 to 0.5

Explanation:

Polar covalent bonds occur when there is a moderate difference in electronegativity between two atoms. A difference of 0 to 0.5 is considered non - polar covalent (electrons are shared relatively equally). A difference of 1.7 or greater is typically considered ionic (electron transfer). The range 0.5 - 1.7 indicates a polar covalent bond where electrons are shared unequally.

Answer:

0.5 to 1.7
