Polar Covalent.

This is because both Calcium (Ca) and Carbon (C) are non metals, thus eliminating the ionic option.

It is polar covalent rather than nonpolar covalent due to the fact that the electrons in a polar covalent bond are shared unequally while those in a nonpolar bond are shared equally.

This can be determined by looking at the amount of valence electrons; if the electrons cancel each other out, it is shared equally. If not, it is shared unequally.

Hope this helps!

• Draw lewis dot structures for an atom of each of following elements:

marin [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Lewis dot structures represent the symbol of an atom we're looking at and the number of valence electrons it has. This number is represented by the sum of dots around the symbol.

Potassium is in group 1A, this means it only has one valence electron, so we draw K with one dot in its Lewis diagram;
Argon is in group 8A, this means it has eight valence electrons, so we draw Ar with 8 dots around it in its Lewis diagram;
Silicon is in group 4A, this means it has four valence electrons, so we draw Si with 4 dots around it in its Lewis diagram;
Arsenic is in group 5A, this means it has five valence electrons, so we draw As with 5 dots around it in its Lewis diagram.

Those are represented in the image attached below:
