When is a covalent bond most likely to be polar?
A covalent bond is most likely to be polar when there is a large difference in the electronegativity of the two atoms that form the bond.
What is the increasing ordor of electronegativity in ionic bond and polar covalent bond and non polar covalent bond?
In the increasing order, they are non polar covalent bond < polar covalent bond < ionic bond.
Is a covalent bond stronger than a polar covalent bond?
== ==Yes, a covalent bond is stronger than a polar bond.
What term describes a covalent bond in which electrons are not shared equally?
A covalent bond in which the electrons are not shared equally is a polar covalent bond.
Is S and O ionic or covalent?
Polar covalent. The difference in electronegtivity is insufficient for an ionic bond
