Question
when atoms with similar levels of electronegativity share electrons, the type of bond produced is: hydrogen polar covalent ionic nonpolar covalent nonpolar ionic
When atoms with similar electronegativities share electrons, they form non - polar covalent bonds. In non - polar covalent bonds, the electrons are shared equally between the atoms because there is little to no difference in electronegativity. Hydrogen bonds are a type of intermolecular force, not a bond formed by sharing electrons. Polar covalent bonds form when there is a significant but not large electronegativity difference. Ionic bonds form when there is a large electronegativity difference and electrons are transferred, not shared. There is no such thing as a non - polar ionic bond as ionic bonds involve charge separation.
