NEET Chemistry Covalent Bond Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): In a polar covalent bond, the electron pair is equally shared between the two atoms.
Reason (R): In a polar covalent bond, the shared electron pair is displaced towards the more electronegative atom, creating a dipole moment.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false but R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
A polar covalent bond involves unequal sharing of electrons, causing a dipole moment due to the electron pair being displaced towards the more electronegative atom, as stated in the Reason.
