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.
