Is NO nonpolar covalent or polar covalent?
NO is a non-polar covalent compound because the difference in electronegativites is very less between the two elements.
Is BF3 nonpolar covalent or polar covalent?
nonpolar covalent because BF3 shares electrons equally. Remeber boron doesn't follower the octect rule!
Is HBr a polar covalent or nonpolar covalent?
It is polar covalent because these two elements are not the same.
Is CO a nonpolar covalent or polar covalent?
Because oxygen is much more electronegative than carbon, the bonding in CO (carbon monoxide) is a polar covalent.
Is glucose polar covalent or nonpolar covalent?
Glucose is polar, it can dissolve in water.
