what happens when two atoms with different electronegativities form
a bond?
they form a metallic bond they form a nonpolar
covalent bond
they form a hydrogen
bond they form a polar covalent
bond
When two atoms with different electronegativities form a bond, the more electronegative atom attracts the shared electrons more strongly. This creates a partial negative charge on the more electronegative atom and a partial positive charge on the less electronegative atom, resulting in a polar covalent bond. Metallic bonds occur between metal atoms. Non - polar covalent bonds form when atoms have similar electronegativities. Hydrogen bonds are a type of intermolecular force, not a chemical bond formed by two atoms in the way described in the question.
