Question:
What is bond polarity?
Author: Phillanie JacobsAnswer:
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.
