Question

What is a polar covalent bond?
Options
A Covalent bonding with equal sharing of electrons
B Covalent bonding with unequal sharing of electrons
Correct Answer
C Complete transfer of electrons between atoms
D Bonding that only occurs in metals
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

A polar covalent bond is a type of covalent bond in which electrons are shared unequally between atoms. This unequal sharing occurs when atoms have different electronegativities, creating partial positive and negative charges on the bonded atoms.

Hint

Polar bonds result from differences in electronegativity.
