Explain the difference between polar and non-polar covalent bonds.
Non-polar covalent bond: A non-polar covalent bond forms when two atoms share electrons equally. This typically occurs between two identical non-metals (e.g., Hâ‚‚, Oâ‚‚) where the electronegativity difference between the atoms is negligible or zero. As a result, the electron distribution is uniform, and there is no partial charge on the atoms. Polar covalent bond: … Read more
