Only H and Br form Polar Covalent Bond.

Covalent bonding:

Covalent bonding occurs when pairs of electrons are shared by atoms. Atoms will covalently bond with other atoms in order to gain more stability, which is gained by forming a full electron shell. By sharing their outer most (valence) electrons, atoms can fill up their outer electron shell and gain stability.

1. Polar Covalent Bond

2. Nonpolar Covalent Bond

1. Polar Covalent Bond:

A Polar Covalent Bond is created when the shared electrons between atoms are not equally shared. This occurs when one atom has a higher electronegativity than the atom it is sharing with. The atom with the higher electronegativity will have a stronger pull for electrons (Similiar to a Tug-O-War game, whoever is stronger usually wins). As a result, the shared electrons will be closer to the atom with the higher electronegativity, making it unequally shared.

2. Nonpolar Covalent Bond:

A Nonpolar Covalent Bond is created when atoms share their electrons equally. This usually occurs when two atoms have similar or the same electron affinity. The closer the values of their electron affinity, the stronger the attraction. This occurs in gas molecules; also known as diatomic elements. Nonpolar covalent bonds have a similar concept as polar covalent bonds; the atom with the higher electronegativity will draw away the electron from the weaker one.

Here H and H and N and N form Non-polar covalent bonds. Na and Br form the ionic bond.

Let the milk he bought is 1000 ml

Let C.P of 1000 ml is Rs. 100

Here let he is mixing K ml of water

He is getting 30% profit

=> Now, the selling price is also Rs. 100 for 1000 ml

=> 100 : K%

= 100 : 30

10 : 3 is ratio of milk to water

=> Percentage of milk = 10 x 100/13 = 1000/13 = 76.92%

Given that the month begins on a Friday and has 31 days

Sundays = 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th, 31st
=> Total Sundays = 5

Every second & fourth Saturday is holiday.
2nd & 4th Saturday in every month = 2

Total days in the month = 31

Total working days = 31 - (5 + 2) = 24 days.

Let the sum be Rs. p, rate be R% p.a. and time be T years.

Then,

 P×T×(R+2)100-P×T×R100=108 ⇒2PT= 10800 ...... (1)

 And, 

 P×R×(T+2)100-P×R×T100=180 ⇒2PR = 18000 ......(2)

Clearly, from (1) and (2), we cannot find the value of p
So, the data is not sufficient.

A person or scientist who studies on water is called as Hydrologist. Since the study of water and its properties is known as Hydrology, the persons who deals with this field are known as Hydrologists.

Geographer :

A scientist who studies Earth's natural environment and how human society uses the natural environment.

Herpetologist :

A person who studies reptiles and amphibians.

Archeologist :

Someone who studies people and what they did in the past from the things they left behind.

Two men, three women and one child can be selected in ⁴C₂ x ⁶C₃ x ⁵C₁ ways = 600 ways.

In 1hr, the bus covers 60 km without stoppages and 40 km with stoppages.

Stoppage time = time take to travel (60 - 40) km i.e 20 km at 60 km/hr.

stoppage time = 20/60 hrs = 20 min.

Let P's speed = x km/hr. Then, Q's speed = (7 - x) km/ hr.

So, 24/x + 24/(7 - x) = 14

x2 - 98x + 168 = 0

(x - 3)(x - 4) = 0 => x = 3 or 4.

Since, P is faster than Q,

so P's speed = 4 km/hr and Q's speed = 3 km/hr.
