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

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In a polar covalent bond, there is unequal sharing of electron - pairs due to differences in electronegativity between the atoms involved.

Answer:

B. polar
