If a Pair of Electrons is Unequally Shared Between Two

Question

If a pair of electrons is unequally shared between two atoms, a(n) ________ bond occurs.
A) single covalent
B) double covalent
C) triple covalent
D) polar covalent
E) hydrogen

Accepted Answer

A polar covalent bond occurs when two atoms with different electronegativities share electrons unequally. This results in a partial positive charge on one atom and a partial negative charge on the other.
