Answer:
a. NCl3
Explanation:
All the elements stated are non metals. Generally the bond between non metals is a covalent bond. However depending on how the electrons are shared, this bond can either be polar or non polar.
A non polar covalent bond is formed when the electrons are shared equally between the atoms.
A way to determine if a bond is non polar or polar covalent is by comparing the electronegativity values.
If the electronegativity difference is less than 0.5, it is regarded as a non polar covalent bond.
Going back to the question;
Between N and Cl; the electronegativity difference is 3.0 - 3.0 = 0
Between Cl and O; the electronegativity difference is 3.5 - 3.0 = 0.5
Between Cl and P; the electronegativity difference is 3.5 - 2.1 = 1.4
From these we can tell that the correct option is option A.
