Question
Two atoms form a polar covalent bond symbolized as: (Picture)5. Two atoms form a polar covalent bond symbolized as: which ofthe following statements is/are always TRUE regarding X and Y? X Y (i) Y is gaining electrons from X. () Y is gaining electrons from X. (i) X has more valence electrons than Y. (iii) X is more electronegative than Y. (iv) Electrons in the bond are found closer to X than Y (A) (ii), (ii) and (iv) are true. (C) Only (ii) is true. (E) None of the statements are true. (B) (ii) and (iv) are true (D) All of the statements are true. A) (ii), (iii) and (iv) are true.
Explanation / Answer
polar covalent bond = It will be formed between two atoms of dissimilar electronegativities
Therefore,
Ans = C - only (iii) is true i.e X is more electronegative than Y
Other choices are irrelevant.
