Contrast a polar covalent bond and a nonpolar covalent bond?
A nonpolar covalent bond has a shape that is linear, or cannot be divided so that the positive atom(s) are on one side and the negative atom(s) are on another. A polar covalent is the exact opposite....
Why are the covalent bonds in molecules of elements always nonpolar?
the attractions are not as strong as ionic or covalent bonds, but they are strong enough to hold molecules together in a liquid or a solid.
