How does a polar bond bond difffer from a non-polar bond?

Answer 1

A nonpolar bond does not have two opposite ends or poles and they occur when there is an equal sharing of electrons between two different atoms.

A polar bond does have two opposite ends or poles and they occur when there is an unequal sharing of electrons between two different atoms.

Answer 2

Non polar covalent bonds have little or no differences in electronegativity values of the atoms taking place in the bond, thus there is no separation of charge. An example might be Br2 where 2 Br atoms are bonded to each other Br-Br and each carries the same relative charge. A polar covalent bond has atoms with different electronegativity, and thus there will be some separation of charge. An example might be phosphorous trichloride, PCl3 where the Cl is more electronegative than the P and thus pulls electrons making the Cl atoms more negative than the P.

Answer 3

A non polar bond is when equal electrons are shared. A polar bond is when unequal electrons are shared. For example water (H20) is a polar bond.

Answer 4

In a polar bond, electrons are shared unequally
