D) a polar covalent bond

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A nonpolar covalent bond results when the atoms involved in a covalent bond have the same electronegativity. This means that the electrons in the bond are shared equally between the two atoms, resulting in a balanced distribution of charge and no partial charges (i.e. no polarity). An ionic bond results when there is a large difference in electronegativity between the atoms, while a polar covalent bond results when there is a moderate difference in electronegativity. Hydrogen bonds are a type of intermolecular bond, not a type of covalent bond.
