Atoms form ionic bonds by transferring electrons, resulting in oppositely charged ions that are attracted to each other. Covalent bonds are formed by sharing electrons between atoms to achieve a stable electron configuration. Polar bonds occur when there is an unequal sharing of electrons, creating regions of partial positive and negative charges within the molecule.
The increasing order of electronegativity in bonds is lowest for nonpolar covalent bonds, followed by polar covalent bonds, and highest for ionic bonds. In nonpolar covalent bonds, the electronegativity difference between atoms is minimal, whereas in polar covalent bonds, there is a moderate electronegativity difference leading to partial charges. Ionic bonds have the highest electronegativity difference, resulting in complete transfer of electrons.
Plutonium typically forms covalent bonds in compounds. These covalent bonds are usually polar due to the large electronegativity difference between plutonium and other atoms it bonds with.
Covalent bonds are generally less soluble in water compared to ionic bonds. Ionic compounds dissolve in water because of the attraction between the ions and the polar water molecules. In contrast, covalent compounds are usually nonpolar or have weaker polar bonds, making them less likely to interact with polar water molecules and dissolve.
Hydrogen bonds are the weakest of the listed chemical bonds. They result from the attraction between a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to an electronegative atom (e.g., oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine) and another electronegative atom. Ionic bonds, polar covalent bonds, and non-polar covalent bonds are stronger than hydrogen bonds.
Sugar is polar because it has polar covalent bonds between its atoms. Ionic compounds have ionic bonds where electrons are transferred from one atom to another, creating positive and negative ions. Sugar does not have ions.

Non-polar covalent bonds occur between two nonmetals that have similar electronegativities. Metals and nonmetals have significantly different electronegativities, so they tend to form ionic bonds or polar covalent bonds instead of non-polar covalent bonds. Metals usually donate electrons to nonmetals to achieve stability, resulting in the formation of ionic bonds or polar covalent bonds due to the difference in electronegativities.
No, water does not contain ionic bonds. Water molecules are held together by covalent bonds, where oxygen shares electrons with two hydrogen atoms. This forms a polar covalent bond rather than an ionic bond.
No, a bond can exhibit characteristics of both ionic and covalent bonding, known as polar covalent bonds. In polar covalent bonds, electrons are shared between atoms but unevenly distributed due to differences in electronegativity.
SO2 is the substance that has polar covalent bonds. This is because sulfur and oxygen have different electronegativities, resulting in an uneven sharing of electrons in the covalent bonds within the molecule.
