Is the molecule no nonpolar covalent, polar covalent, or ionic?

a. nonpolar covalent
b. polar covalent
c. ionic
d. none of the above

Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A covalent compound is defined as the compound in which there will be sharing of electrons between the combining atoms.

An ionic compound is defined as the compound in which there will be transfer of electrons from one atom to another.

A non-polar covalent compound is defined as the compound in which there will be equal sharing of electrons between the combining atoms.

A polar covalent bond is defined as the bond in which there will be unequal sharing of electrons between the combining atoms.

For example, in a NO molecule the oxygen atom is more electronegative than nitrogen atom. Hence, partial charges will tend to develop on both nitrogen and oxygen.

Also, there will be unequal sharing of electrons.

Thus, we can conclude that NO molecule is a polar covalent compound.

in chemistry, adhesion and cohesion are attractive forces that exist between molecules. they hold the molecules together from each other. they are different in that adhesive force exists between molecules of different substance while cohesive force happens between molecules of same substance.

adhesion between water and glass causes water molecules at the edge of water and glass interface to climb up the wall in a narrow glass tube. this is called capillary action. cohesion is what gives glass its shape and causes water to form a droplet.
