Due to the difference in the electronegativities of the bonded atoms, the more electronegative atom attracts the shared pair of electrons towards itself, which increases the negative charge density around the attracting atom, consequently the other atom has less negative charge density and thus a positive charge density (relatively positive) gets generated at the donor atom.

When oppositely charged atoms stick together?

When oppositely charged atoms stick together, they are chemically bonded. Incidentally, when an atom becomes charged it is called an ion, rather than an atom, so the wording of your question is not entirely correct.

What is a polyatomic icon?

An ion is a charged particle. A polyatomic ion is a group of covalently bonded atoms that, as a whole, have a charge.


What is a polyatomic number?

There is no such thing. There are polyatomic ions, which are positively or negatively charged, covelantly bonded groups of atoms, though.


When are hydrogen bonds formed?

Short Answer: a partially positive hydrogen atom gets attracted to a partially negatively charged atom. _______________________ Take water for example. There is an Oxygen atom (which pulls electrons towards it-- making it partially negative) There are also two hydrogen atoms. The (negatively charged) electron on each H atom is being pulled towards the O atom, making the Hydrogen partially positive. Now, when two water molecules come together, the partially positively charged H's on one water molecule are attracted to the partially negatively charged O's on the other molecule. This attraction between oppositely charged atoms on different molecules creates a 'hydrogen bond'.
