The molecule that has a non-polar covalent bond is
- A. HCl
- B. \(NH_3\)
- C. \(Cl_2\)
- D. \(H_2O\)
Correct Answer: C. \(Cl_2\)
Explanation
In \(Cl_2\), the two chlorine atoms are identical and have the same electronegativity. Since both atoms have the same electronegativity, the electrons in the covalent bond are shared equally, resulting in a non-polar covalent bond. The molecule does not have a significant separation of charge and lacks a permanent dipole moment.
