Explanation:

Answer:

nonpolar covalent: The EN difference between atoms is... 0 to 0.4; The bonded electrons are... equally shared
ionic: The EN difference between atoms is... > 1.7; The bonded electrons are... completely transferred to the more electronegative atom
polar covalent: The EN difference between atoms is... 0.5 to 1.7; The bonded electrons are... unequally shared
