POLAR AND NONPOLAR MOLECULES

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Does the following reference Polar, Nonpolar, or both:"unequal sharing of electrons”?
A
Polar
B
Nonpolar
C
Both
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Polar covalent bonds result when electrons are unequally shared between atoms, while nonpolar covalent bonds result when electrons are more equally shared between atoms.

Detailed explanation-2: -Water is a Polar Covalent Molecule The unequal sharing of electrons between the atoms and the unsymmetrical shape of the molecule means that a water molecule has two poles-a positive charge on the hydrogen pole (side) and a negative charge on the oxygen pole (side).

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: Polarity is what results from the unequal sharing of electrons between atoms.

Detailed explanation-4: -Coordinate covalent bonds involve the unequal sharing of an electron pair by two atoms, with both electrons (originally) coming from the same atom.
