How does a polar covalent bond differ from a nonpolar covalent bond?
In a polar bond, electrons are transferred.
A polar bond is always stronger.
A polar bond only occurs with atoms of the same element.
In a polar bond, electrons are shared unequally.
In a nonpolar bond, electrons are shared equally between atoms.
A nonpolar bond occurs when the electronegativities of the two atoms are similar, resulting in an equal sharing of electrons.
Nonpolar bonds tend to have lower polarity compared to polar bonds.
so is it a b c or d
The statements provided in the initial response are incorrect. The correct answer is:
In a polar covalent bond, electrons are shared unequally (option d).
In a nonpolar covalent bond, electrons are shared equally between atoms, not transferred.
Polar bonds do not only occur with atoms of the same element, and a polar bond is not always stronger than a nonpolar bond.
