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

Explanation:

When two non - metal atoms with different electronegativities combine, the more electronegative atom attracts the shared electrons more strongly. This creates a separation of charge, forming a polar bond. Ionic bonds form between a metal and a non - metal, and nonpolar bonds form between atoms with similar electronegativities.

Answer:

polar bonds
