So,

A polar covalent bond is a bond between two atoms that has a low electronegativity difference (usually 0.1 < x < 1.9, which is kind of the border between nonpolar covalent and ionic, respectively).  The most prominent example of a polar covalent bond is water, where the oxygen atom has an electronegativity of 3.5 and the hydrogen atoms have electronegativities of 2.1.  The electronegativity difference is 3.5-2.1 = 1.4, which is still in covalent territory, but still a polar bond.  This is why lowercase delta's appear beside oxygen atoms in drawings.

Examining, the four options, we immediately see that option D is Cl-Cl.  A bond between two of the same atoms inevitably implies an electronegativity difference of zero, which means a nonpolar covalent bond: electrons are equally shared.  Anywhere you see two identical atoms bonding (except for metals), you will have a nonpolar covalent bond.

The correct answer is D.

2.50 L of gas originally at 50 K is warmed to 80 K. If the pressure remains constant, which gas law needs to be used to find the
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

You want an equation that includes both V and T. Charles' Law states that V =kT or V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂, so this is the best formula to use.

B: The Combined Gas Law is p₁V₁/T₂ = p₂V₂/T₂ will work, but it's overkill for the situation. You can assume any constant value for the pressure, and it will cancel from each side of the equation,

C is wrong. Boyle's Law is p₁V₁ = p₂V₂. It does not include the temperature.

D is wrong. Gay-Lussac's Law is p₁/T₂ = p₂/T₂. It does not include the volume.
