Best Answer

A polar bond is that one between 2 nonmetal atoms that have different electronegativities and therefore have unequal sharing of the bonding electron pair. A non polar bond is between 2 nonmetal atoms that have the same electronegativity and therefore have equal sharing of the bonding electron pair.

What different types of bonds can exist in covalent bonding?

nonpolar covalent and polar covalent


Why non polar bonds do not like water?

Actually, water, by hydrogen bonding with itself and not the nonpolar substances excludes the nonpolar substances from hydrogen bonding and turns them into associations with each other. Natural water can hydrogen bond with many polar and charged substances.


What type of bond if formed when electrons are shared?

Covalent bonding. It can be two types - polar covalent or nonpolar covalent. In polar covalent bonding, atoms do not share electrons equally. In nonpolar covalent bonding, atoms share electrons equally.


What are the 2 types of bonding?

polar and nonpolar


How polar and non polar bonds affect solubility?

Molecules with many polar bonds are soluble in polar solvents.Also, molecules with none or few polar bonds (many non-polar bonds) are soluble in non-polar solvent. e.g Water is a polar solvent so substances with many polar bonds are soluble in it.


Is the bonding in NH4NO3 polar or nonpolar?

What are the main types of chemical bonds?

There are three main types of chemical bonds. The main types are; ionic bonding, covalent bonding and polar covalent bonding.


What type of chemical bond creates the weakest bonds?

Hydrogen bonding between polar molecules creates the weakest bonds.


If oxygen which has an electronegativity of 3.5 bonds with hydrogen which has an electronegativity of 2.1 the bond between the two atoms will be classified as what polar bond?

nonpolar!


Potassium iodide has polar or nonpolar bonds?

strictly polar


Are CH4 bonds nonpolar?

No,bonds are polar.But molecule is non polar.


How can a molecule nonpolar overall and still contain polar bonds?

Yes, a molecule can be nonpolar when it contains polar covalent bonds, because think about it. if the molecule is linear in structure, and it has two equally polar bonds on either side, then the polarity will essentially cancel out, and it will become nonpolar.
