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: A. polarity
Explanation
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.
