Question:

What is bond polarity?

Author: Phillanie Jacobs



Answer:

When 2 different atoms are joined by a covalent bond, the electronegativities of these atoms will be different ,meaning the electrons will be drawn towards the atom with greatest electronegativity. This atom will have a slightly negative charge charge while the other will be slightly positive. This charge difference is a dipole. If a bond is polar, it has a dipole.
