Oxidation and reduction states are relatively easy to determine for metal ions, because there is a measurable net charge. In the case of carbon compounds, oxidation and reduction depend on the nature of polar covalent bonds. Which of the following is the best way to describe these types of bond? hydrogen bonds in a nonpolar solution covalent bonds in an aqueous solution unequal sharing of electrons across a covalent bond equal sharing of electrons across a covalent bond Solution The best way to describe these type of bond is option b i.e. covalent bonds in an aqueous solution. In general, we know that bonds between carbon or hydrogen atom and N2, O2, F or Cl atoms are polar covalent..

Solution
The best way to describe these type of bond is option b i.e. covalent bonds in an aqueous
solution. In general, we know that bonds between carbon or hydrogen atom and N2, O2, F or Cl
atoms are polar covalent.
