Question

Defined bond polarity

Answer 1

Bond polarity is a measure of how equally or unequally the electrons are shared between two atoms in a chemical bond. In a polar covalent bond, one atom has a stronger pull on the shared electrons, leading to a slight negative charge on that atom and a slight positive charge on the other atom. This unequal sharing of electrons results in a partially positive and partially negative end of the bond, creating a dipole moment.
