Question 5

Covalent bonds are generally formed between a ______ and a ______.

Answer 5

nonmetal and nonmetal (of similar electronegativity)

Question 6

Explain a polar bond.

Answer 6

A polar bond will create a dipole, where the positive end is on the less electronegative atom and the negative end is on the more electronegative atom.
