You notice that the majority of the electrons in NaCl spend their time around the chlorine.You also notice that the electrons in H₂ are evenly distributed among the two atoms.Which two types of bonds are represented in these molecules?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In NaCl, the majority of the electrons spend their time around the chlorine, indicating that there is a transfer of electrons from sodium to chlorine, resulting in an ionic bond. In H₂, the electrons are evenly distributed among the two atoms, indicating a sharing of electrons and a covalent bond. Therefore, the two types of bonds represented in these molecules are ionic bonds in NaCl and covalent bonds in H₂. The correct choice is D.
