Question 3

Electrons during polar covalent bonding

Answer 3

Get unequally shared

Question 4

Difference between polar and nonpolar covalent bonding?

Answer 4

Polar occurs when two nonmetals with slightly different electronegativity bond covalently

Nonpolar occurs between two nonmetals with the same electronegativity bond covalently

Question 5

What type of bond will occur between the two elements?
- Potassium (K)
- Chlorine (Cl)

Answer 5

Ionic since it is a metal bonding with a nonmetal.

Question 6

How does electronegativity affect the type of bond?

Answer 6

Ionic usually occurs when two atoms have a large difference in electronegativity and between nonmetals and metals.

Covalent usually occurs when two atoms have the same electronegativity (or a slight difference in electronegativity for polar covalent bonding) and usually occurs between two nonmetals.
