COMEDK2021ChemistryChemical Bonding and Molecular Structure
Find the compound which have both polar and non-polar covalent bonds.
Options
- AHCN
- BH ₂ O ₂
- CNH ₄ Cl
- DCH ₄
Correct answer
B. H ₂ O ₂
Step-by-step solution
The molecule H ₂ O ₂ has the structure H - O - O - H . The O - H bond is a polar covalent bond due to the difference in electronegativity between oxygen and hydrogen atoms. The O - O bond is a non-polar covalent bond because it is formed between two identical atoms with zero electronegativity difference. Therefore, H ₂ O ₂ contains both polar and non-polar covalent bonds. Answer: H ₂ O ₂
