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.

Which kind of covalent bond has unequal sharing of electrons?
A polar covalent bond and this unequal sharing of electrons gives one end a slight negative charge and the other end a slight positive charge, though the molecule is neutral in charge.
Why doesone atom have a partial negative charge in a polar covalent bond?
Because this atom has a high electronegativity ( affinity for electrons ) and is bonded to an atom with much lower electronegativity. So the electron(s) of the lower electronegative atom spends more time in the orbital of the higher electronegative atom thus giving that end of the molecule a slight negative charge.
Are oxygen atoms in water molecules negatively charged?
Hydrogen is positive and Oxygen is negative.
Does hydrogen and fluorine bond form a polar or non-polar molecule?
They form a polar molecule. Explanation: F atom in HF molecule are highly electronegative. Hence, there will be a permanent dipole, which is the F atom attract part of the electron making the electrons in H-F bond distributed unevenly. This causes a slight positive charge on H and slight negative charge on F.
Is a hydrogen bond covalent?
Hydrogen bonds and covalent bonds are two completely different things. Covalent bonds share an electron, while hydrogen bonds (just for water molecules) act like magnets- the Oxygen atom has a slight negative charge and it "attracts" the Hydrogen atoms, which have a slight positive charge.

Is The bond between H and O is polar covalent?
Oxygen is a highly electronegative atom while hydrogen is a lot less electronegative as compared to oxygen. Thus, the oxygen atom will attract the electrons in the covalent bond towards itself. As a result, the oxygen atom gains a slight negative charge due to the closer proximity of electrons while the hydrogen atom gains a slight positive charge because its electrons are now further away from the protons. Thus, the molecule formed will have slightly charged ends, which makes it polar.
What kind of electrical charge is found on the oxygen atom of a polar molecule?
A slight negative charge as the electron(s) shared in the covalent bond are spending more time in the highly electronegative oxygen orbital.
If there is a balanced sharing of electrons and neither atom has a slight negative or positive charge their bond is referred to as a?
This is a covalent bond.
Is hydrogen covalent bonds?
Hydrogen bonds and covalent bonds are two completely different things. Covalent bonds share an electron, while hydrogen bonds (just for water molecules) act like magnets- the Oxygen atom has a slight negative charge and it "attracts" the Hydrogen atoms, which have a slight positive charge.
Has a slight positive charge on one end and a slight negative charge on the other end?
Batteries will typically have a slight positive charge on one end and a slight negative charge on the other end. Polar substances act similarly.
How are polar covalent bond different from a covalent bond?
Polar ones have a non-uniform distribution of electrical charge (one atom is more electronegative than the other) and thus one end of the compound will be more negatively charged than the other. In short, a large atom will pull the shared electron(s) closer to it, and not sharing it equally. Thus, the large atom gains a slight negative charge and the small atom gains a slight positive charge. This ONLY happens when hydrogen shares with oxygen, nitrogen or flourine. A polar covalent bond will only occur when the electronegativity difference between the two atoms is between 0.3 and 1.7.

What type of bond is carbon tetraflouride make?
The C-F bonds in CF4 are single covalent bonds with a slight negative charge at the F end and a slight positive charge at the C end. The central carbon forms one bond with each fluorine.
What is the attraction between a slight positive charge on a hydrogen atom and the slight negative charge of a nearby atom is a?
Cholesterol.
The oxygen atom in a water molecule has a slight negative charge?
Yes, and the hydrogen atoms carry a slight positive charge.
