state the number and type of bond(s) you expect it would form if it reacted with hydrogen (h).
one covalent polar bond
one ionic bond
two covalent nonpolar bonds
two covalent polar bonds

Explanation:

Hydrogen forms covalent bonds when reacting with non - metals. The type (polar or non - polar) depends on the electronegativity difference between the atoms. Without knowing which element is reacting with hydrogen, we can analyze bond types conceptually. Covalent non - polar bonds occur when there is equal sharing of electrons (similar electronegativities), and covalent polar bonds when there is unequal sharing (different electronegativities). Ionic bonds form between a metal and a non - metal. Since hydrogen is a non - metal, it usually forms covalent bonds with other non - metals.

Answer:

The answer cannot be determined without knowing the other element reacting with hydrogen.
