Question

which statement best explains the difference between polar and nonpolar covalent bonds? (1 point) polar covalent bonds give/take electrons, while nonpolar covalent bonds share electrons. polar covalent bonds share electrons, while nonpolar covalent bonds give/take electrons. polar covalent bonds share electrons unequally, while nonpolar covalent bonds share electrons equally. polar covalent bonds share electrons equally, while nonpolar covalent bonds share electrons unequally.

Explanation:

Covalent bonds (both polar and non - polar) involve sharing electrons. In polar covalent bonds, due to differences in electronegativity between atoms, electrons are shared unequally. In non - polar covalent bonds, atoms have similar electronegativity, so electrons are shared equally.

Answer:

C. Polar covalent bonds share electrons unequally, while nonpolar covalent bonds share electrons equally.
