Carbon is the main building block to most cells. It helps with cellular resperation by which your body releases energy stored in glucose and the glucose compound is composed of carbon,hydrogen and oxygen. Carbon makes up 18% of the human body. Sugars in the body like glucose hold carbon elements.

That is because carbon builds into everything as it has a great aptitude for forming bonds with other elements. It can create bonds and share electrons better than other atoms because of its properties.

Which pair of atoms forms a nonpolar covalent bond? which pair of atoms forms a nonpolar covalent bond? na and cl c and o n and
adelina 88 [10]

Types of Bonds can be predicted by calculating the difference in electronegativity.

If, Electronegativity difference is,

 

                Less than 0.4 then it is Non Polar Covalent

                

                Between 0.4 and 1.7 then it is Polar Covalent 

            

                Greater than 1.7 then it is Ionic

 

For Na and Cl,

                    E.N of Chlorine       =   3.16

                    E.N of Sodium        =   0.93

                                                   ________

                    E.N Difference             2.23          (Ionic Bond)


For C and O,

                    E.N of Oxygen       =   3.44

                    E.N of Carbon        =   2.55

                                                   ________

                    E.N Difference             0.89          (Polar Covalent Bond)


For N and Cl,

                    E.N of Chlorine      =   3.16

                    E.N of Notrogen     =   3.04

                                                   ________

                    E.N Difference             0.12           (Non-Polar Covalent Bond)


For B and O,

                    E.N of Oxygen        =   3.44

                    E.N of Boron           =   2.04

                                                   ________

                    E.N Difference             1.40          (Polar Covalent Bond)
