Why is oxygen more likely to form a polar covalent bond than other elements? A Oxygen is slightly positive when it forms a covalent polar bond, which is its preferred electrochemical state.
B Oxygen has a high electronegativity and holds shared electrons more tightly than other atoms.
C Oxygen donates its electrons when forming covalent bonds, which are more easily breakable than ionic bonds.
