The formation of a bond between hydrogen and a highly electronegative atom results in
A.
polarity
B.
electrovalent bond.
C.
dipole
D.
metallic bond
Correct answer is A
The formation of a bond between hydrogen and a highly electronegative atom results in polarity because the electronegative atom will attract the shared pair of electrons more than the hydrogen atom, creating a dipole with a partial negative charge on the electronegative atom and a partial positive charge on the hydrogen atom.
