Question

Two atoms of elements X and Y contribute an electron each during the bond formation and both X and Y have equal tendency to attract the shared electron pair. The type of bond formed between X and Y is____________________.

• A. polar covalent bond
• B. ionic bond
• C. coordinate covalent bond
• D. non-polar covalent bond

Answer 1

The correct option is D non-polar covalent bond

Non polar compound consists of molecules linked through chemical bonds arranged in such a way that the distribution of charges are symmetrical. Non polar bonds do not exhibit polarity and do not form ions in their solution. These compounds do not dissolve in water which is a polar molecule.
