POLAR AND NONPOLAR MOLECULES

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A bond in which the electrons are shared equally between the two atoms is a(n) ____ bond.
A
polar covalent
B
nonpolar covalent
C
hydrogen
D
ionic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A nonpolar covalent bond is a covalent bond in which the bonding electrons are shared equally between the two atoms. In a nonpolar covalent bond, the distribution of electrical charge is balanced between the two atoms.

Detailed explanation-2: -This type of a covalent bond where electrons are shared equally between two atoms is called a non-polar covalent bond.

Detailed explanation-3: -electrons are equally likely to be. found near each atom is called a. nonpolar covalent. bond.

Detailed explanation-4: -A non-polar covalent bond is a type of chemical bond that is formed when electrons are shared equally between two atoms. Thus, in an atom, the number of electrons shared by the adjacent atoms will be the same. The covalent bond is also termed as nonpolar because the difference in electronegativity is mostly negligible.

Detailed explanation-5: -Polar covalent bonds result when electrons are unequally shared between atoms, while nonpolar covalent bonds result when electrons are more equally shared between atoms.
