Question

. Explain the differences between ionic, nonpolar covalent, and polar covalent bonds.

Answer 1

Answer:

Ionic bonds transfer ions while covalent bonds equally share them.

Explanation:

In an ionic bond, ions are transferred between each other and ionic bonds form between a metal and nonmetal.

Covalent bonds are equally shared between atoms and form between non metals only.

Specifically, nonpolar covalent bonds are perfectly symmetrical with equal distribution of electrons while polar covalent bonds are asymmetrical and there is a difference in electronegativity.
