Q: Having polar bonds may make a covalent compound what?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

Having polar bonds may make a covalent compound polar. A polar compound is one in which there is a slight difference in charge between opposite ends of the molecule. All polar compounds contain polar bonds. But having polar bonds does not necessarily result in a polar compound. It depends on how the atoms are arranged. This is illustrated in Figure below . Both molecules in the figure contain polar bonds, but only formaldehyde is a polar compound. Why is carbon dioxide nonpolar?.

 Choices:

- ionic

- negatively charged

- neutral

- polar


A:
polar
