Learning Objective i

i. Differentiate between polar and non-polar covalent bonds

Question

Write down your answer to the following question:

Table 19.19 from Hewitt¹ is below, showing the “experimentally measured electronegativities of elements.” Using the table, write down 3 examples pairs of atoms that will form polar covalent bonds and 3 examples of pairs of atoms that will form non-polar covalent bonds.
