Question
a covalent bond where there is unequal sharing of electron pairs is called a(n) ______ covalent bond.
o ionic
o polar
o nonpolar
o valence
Brief Explanations
In a polar covalent bond, there is unequal sharing of electron - pairs due to differences in electronegativity between the atoms involved. Ionic bonds involve transfer of electrons, non - polar covalent bonds have equal sharing of electrons, and valence refers to the combining capacity of an atom, not a type of bond with unequal electron - pair sharing.
