Is hydrogen-hydrogen a polar bond?

In: Chemistry, Genetics, Chemical Bonding [Edit categories]

Answer:

No , basically because two atoms of the same element will have the same electronegativities as each other , therefore they are non-polar as they have an EQUAL distribution of electron density within the covalent bond.

Remember electronegativity : The ability of an atom to attract the electron pair within a covalent bond.

What type of bond is hydrogen to hydrogen?
A bond between two non-metals is generally going to be a covalent bond due to the affinity to electrons and the need to "pick them up." Molecular hydrogen is a good example and the hydrogens are...
Is Hydrogen a polar covalent bond?
No. Both hydrogen atoms "pull" on the electrons with equal force, so the charge is the same at both ends.
Can hydrogen bonds only form when the hydrogen atom is involved in a polar bond?
Yes. When it bonds with F O or N. the electro negativity of these atoms pull the electrons so close, H becomes somewhat of a naked proton which can then hydrogen "bond" with other F O & N atoms...
