Which statement is incorrect concerning a single bond that is polar? chose all that apply(1) a single covalent bond contains only two electrons. (2) a single covalent bond is easier (requires less energy) to break than a triple bond. (3) four electrons are shared unequally between two different atoms. (4) a single covalent bond is weaker than a double covalent bond.

Option (3) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A covalent bond is defined as the bond formed by sharing of electrons. A single covalent bond involves only two electrons.

When four electrons are shared unequally between two atoms then it results in the formation of a double bond.

And, when six electrons are shared unequally then it results in the formation of a triple bond.

It is true that a single covalent bond is weaker than a double covalent bond. Also, a triple covalent bond is stronger than a single covalent bond.

Therefore, we can conclude that the statement four electrons are shared unequally between two different atoms, is INCORRECT concerning a single bond that is polar.
