Which of the following describes the sharing of a nonbonding electron pair on a nitrogen molecule with an oxygen atom, resulting in a nitrous oxide molecule?
A)Polar Covalent
B)Hydrogen Bond
C)nonpolar Covalent Bond
D)Coordinate covalent bond

Respuesta :

A)  Polar Covalent

N≡N-O ⇔ N≡N⁺-O⁻ ⇔ N⁻=N⁺=O ⇔ N⁺=N-O⁻

Answer:

A)Polar Covalent

Explanation:

A polar covalent bond is defined as that made between two elements whose difference in electronegativity is important. It is characterized by being a strong interaction between apolar covalent bonds and ionic bonds. It is covalent because there is an equally shared electronic pair between the two atoms that are linked; that is, the two electrons are shared. For example, atom D donates an electron, while atom Y provides the second electron for the formation of the covalent bond D:Y.
