Which of the following is the correct explanation of a polar covalent bond?

Options

  1. AA polar covalent bond involves the equal sharing of electrons between two atoms, resulting in no charge separa
  2. BA polar covalent bond occurs when two atoms share electrons unequally, leading to a partial positive charge on
  3. CA polar covalent bond is formed when two atoms transfer electrons from one to the other, resulting in the form
  4. DA polar covalent bond is identical to an ionic bond, where electrons are completely transferred from one atom

Correct answer

B. A polar covalent bond occurs when two atoms share electrons unequally, leading to a partial positive charge on

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (B) A polar covalent bond occurs when two atoms share electrons unequally, leading to a partial positive charge on one atom and a partial negative charge on the other.
