Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What type of bond occurs between atoms that share electrons unequally?
A
polar covalent
B
nonpolar covalent
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A polar covalent bond is a covalent bond in which the atoms have an unequal attraction for electrons and so the sharing is unequal.

Detailed explanation-2: -In a polar covalent bond, the electrons are unequally shared by the atoms and spend more time close to one atom than the other.

Detailed explanation-3: -A covalent bond that has an unequal sharing of electrons, as in part (b) of Figure 4.4. 1, is called a polar covalent bond. A covalent bond that has an equal sharing of electrons (part (a) of Figure 4.4. 1) is called a nonpolar covalent bond.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: A chemical bond that involves the equal sharing of electrons would be a(n) (d) nonpolar covalent bond.
