Q. Which combination of atoms can form a polar covalent bond?

A) H and H
B) H and Br
C) N and N
D) Na and Br
Explanation

(b)
When there is less difference in electronegativities of two atoms (but electronegativities are not same) and large difference in their size, polar covalent bond forms.
H and Br : Small difference in electronegativities and large difference in size. Hence, form polar covalent bond.
Na and Br : large difference in electronegativities, hence electrovalent bond is formed.
