The polarity of a bond is determined by...

• The sum of the electronegativities of the two atoms

• The difference in the electronegativities of the two atoms

• The charges of the atoms

• None of the Above

Partial charges are present in which type of bond?

• Ionic

• Nonpolar Covalent

• Polar Covalent

• Both Polar Covalent and Ionic

Molecules that contain whole number charges on atoms (+1,-3, etc.) must be...

• Polar Covalent

• Nonpolar Covalent

• Ionic

• Polar Covalent or Ionic
