A Bond in which one atom is much more electronegative than the other?

The bond will be either ionic (if the electronegativity difference is above 1.7) or covalent (if the electronegativity difference is below 1.7)

What type of bond forms when the shared electrons spend more time around the more electronegative atom and less time around the less electronegative atom?
A polar covalent bond.
Which is the more electronegative atom in bond B-F?
Fluorine is more electronegative. It has the highest electro negativity.
Does the more electronegative atom has a slight positive charge in a polar covalent bond?
No, on the contrary, the more electronegative atom pulls electrons in the covalent bond towards it. This gives it a slightly negative charge overall.
When two atoms are sharing electrons in a covalent bond what will happen to the electrons when one of the atoms is more electronegative than the other?
Electronegativity= the ability of an atom to attract a pair of electrons in a covalent bondSo the electrons will be drawn towards the more electronegative atom, causing this atom to become slightly negative (δ-) and the less electronegative atom to become slightly positive (δ+), so the bond is polarised.
How does electronegativity affect the polaritt of the bond between two atoms?
The more electronegative an atom is the more "pull" the atom will have on the electrons in the molecules

How does electronegative affect the polarity the polarity of the bond between two atoms?
The more electronegative atom will make its end of the bond more negative.-Apex

What happens to electrons in covalent bonds?
A polar covalent bond is created when one atom in a bond is more electronegative than the other. What this means is that the electrons from that bond have a greater draw to the more electronegative atom than the other. Since electrons tend to move around quite a bit within the molecular orbitals that are formed between two atoms, what is happening to the electrons is that over time they are spending more time on the electronegative atom than on the less electronegative atom.
If you have a bond between a metal atom and nonmetal atom which of the two is more electronegative?
Generally the electronegativity is greater for nonmetals.
How does electronegativity affect the polaritt of the bond between two atoms?
The more electronegative an atom is the more "pull" the atom will have on the electrons in the molecules
Does atom give electron to form ionic bond?
Yes, essentially one atom in the bond pulls on the electrons so much harder than the other, that they do share them to form the bond, but the more electronegative atom pretty much owns those electrons.
What is a polar covalent bond?
== == When two elements of different electronegativities (any two different elements) bind chemically, the electrons associated with the bond will naturally spend more time "flying around" the more electronegative atom's nucleus. This results in the more electronegative atom having a partial negative charge and the less electronegative atom have an equal but opposite positive charge.
What is a polar cowalent bond?
A polar covalent bond is one in which the electrons are not shared equally. This results in the more electronegative atom developing a partial negative charge, and the less electronegative atom developing a partial positive charge.
How is a hydrogen bond different from a covalent bond?
Hydrogen bonds are electrostatic attractions between a hydrogen atom, bonded to a more electronegative atom of one molecule AND a more electronegative atom of another molecule, but there is no sharing of electrons. In covalent bonding, atoms share electrons to form molecules.
