Explanation:

• Ionic bond: electrons are transferred, not shared.
• Polar bond: electrons are shared unequally, creating partial charges (slightly positive and slightly negative ends).
• Nonpolar bond: electrons are shared equally.
• Double bond: refers to the number of bonds (two pairs of electrons shared), not about unequal sharing and charge separation.

Answer:

polar bond
