Why is #H_2# a nonpolar covalent bond?
2 Answers
Well, look at the participating atoms?
Explanation:
In a polar covalent bond, one atom is substantially more electronegative than the other, and strongly polarizes electron density towards itself, i.e.
Now while the bond is still covalent, the more electronegative atom polarizes electron density....and with the hydrogen halides, this often leads to acidic behaviour...
And in the acid, charge polarization is so great that the
But with the dihydrogen molecule,
A hydrogen atom has a certain electronegativity (how much it pulls electrons to itself in a compound). However,
