Assertion :The atoms in a covalent molecule are said to share electrons, yet some covalent molecules are polar. Reason: In polar covalent molecules, the shared electrons spend more time on the average near one of the atoms due to high EN.

Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion

Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Both the statement are correct for each other. Bonds that are partly ionic are called polar covalent bonds. Nonpolar covalent bonds, with equal sharing of the bond electrons, arise when the electronegativities of the two atoms are equal. The result is a bond where the electron pair is displaced toward the more electronegative atom.
