Chapter 12, Problem 55E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The non-polar covalent bond is to be predicted using figure 12.9.

Concept introduction:

Electronegativity is defined as the tendency of an atom to attract electrons towards it. Polarized bonds are a result of the electronegativity difference between bonding atoms. If the electronegativity difference is $0$, the bond is known as a nonpolar covalent bond, if it is between $0$ to $2.1$, the bond is known as polar covalent bond and if it is more than $2.1$, the bond is known as an ionic bond.
