1) The metal which reduces the other compound is the one higher in the reactivity. So in this case it is .
2) The substance which brings about reduction while itself getting oxidised (that is losing electrons) is called a reducing agent. Here, $\mathrm{Zn}$ is the reducing agent and reduces Cobalt Oxide to Cobalt while itself getting oxidised to Zinc oxide.
<u>Answer:</u> The weak bond having slightly positive region and a slightly negative region is polar covalent bond.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms. <u>For Example:</u> HCl, etc..
They are of two types:
- <u>Polar covalent bond:</u> This bond is formed when difference in electronegativity between the atoms is present. When atoms of different elements combine, it results in the formation of polar covalent bond.
In this bond, a dipole is created. More electropnegative atom will have a slight negative charge and less electronegative atom will have a slight positive charge. For Example: etc..
- <u>Non-polar covalent bond:</u> This bond is formed when there is no difference in electronegativity between the atoms. When atoms of the same element combine, it results in the formation of non-polar covalent bond. For Example:
etc..
Hence, the weak bond having slightly positive region and a slightly negative region is polar covalent bond.
