Polar covalent bonds lie between the two extremes. They are characterized by an unsymmetrical electron distribution in which the bonding electrons are attracted somewhat more strongly by one atom than the other. The disparity of electron distribution causes one side to be slightly negative (δ-) and the other to be slightly positive (δ+).

Why does hydrochloric acid though a covalent compound ionize?
HCl is strictly speaking - a polar covalent molecule with a partial positive charge on hydrogen and a partial negative charge on chlorine. When this is dissolved in water, water too being a polar molecule with a partial positive charge on hydrogen and a partial negative charge on oxygen, hydrogens of HCl are surrounded by oxygens of water forming dipole dipole bonds. So also the chlorines are surrounded by hydrogens of water. When the dipole-dipole bonds are formed, the original bond between H and Cl weakens and ultimately breaks leading to ionization.
Why dipole moment is avector?
Since there is charge separation in a polar covalent bond, there is also resultant electric field from partial positive charge to partial negative charge.hence due to electric field in one direction and also magnitude of equal and opposite charge.....it is a vector.
What intermolecular force is CH3F?
The prominent intermolecular force for this compound would be dipole dipole attraction forces since there is a polar C-F bond in each molecule. As there is many C-H bonds present, there would be London forces among those groups.
A separation of charge within a bond is the definition to what word?
dipole movement
What are the forces between water molecules that hold them together in the solid and liquid state called?
Hydrogen bonding. Hydrogen bonding is a dipole-dipole interaction in which a hydrogen atom bonded to a highly electronegative atom (either O, N, or F) develops a partial positive charge. This partial positive charge allows the formation of a weak bond with another electronegative atom (again, either O, N, or F).

Which is stronger a Dipole-dipole attraction or covalent bond?
covalent bond.
What bond has a very strong dipole dipole force?
a hydrogen bond
Is CH2Cl2 a dipole?
It does not have dipole-dipole IM forces. The reason for it is that CCl4 is a tetrahedral compound and all of the Cl points away from the central carbon and they are 109.5 degree apart. Therefore they all cancel each other out. The only IM force it has is the london forces.
What is the definition of a dipole moment?
A dipole moment is a mathematical product of the magnitude of a charge and the distance of the separation between charges. There are also many other types of dipole moments, such as transition, molecular, bond and electron.
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.
What has a positive charge at one end and a negative charge at the other end?
A polar bond occur when electrons are shared unequally. However, POLAR MOLECULES are the ones that have a slight postitive charge on one end and a slight negative charge on the other end.
