No, it is nonpolar. A polar bond is between two different atoms, which will have different electronegativities (attraction for electrons). The atom with the higher electronegativity will "pull" the shared electrons closer to itself, making that side of the molecule more negative and the other atom's side more positive, creating a polar bond. Two identical atoms will have the same electronegativity and therefore will share the electrons equally, making a nonpolar bond.

∙ 12y agoBr2 liquid, in its standard elemental condition is non polar. Both Br atoms are equally electronegative and so the covalent electrons are equally distributed between each atom. However, random movement of the electrons can cause temporary instantaneous-induced dipoles on the molecule. This is important in substitution reactions such as electrophilic substitution. The Br2 comes in contact with an electron-dense species and causes one atom of the molecule to become delta + and hence the other becomes delta -. This induced dipole can split the covalent bond between Br atoms leading to a Br- ion and substitute a Br atom into the electron dense species

Does hydrochloric acid contain a non-polar covalent bond?
HCl (hydrogen chloride) has a covalent bond, polar.
Is ether a polar substance?
Polar. the C-O bond are polar
Why like atoms form non-polar bond instead of polar bond?
The difference in electronegativity between th atoms foming the covalent bond leads to the polar nture of the bond. If the atoms are alike then there is NO difference in electronegativity- so - no bond polarity
Is IOF5 polar or non polar?
IOF5 is polar - O has a double bond
Unequal sharing of electrons produces what type of bond?
polar covalent bonds
How does a polar covalent bond differ from a covalent bond?
Electrons are shared unequally in a polar bond.
Does hydrochloric acid contain a non-polar covalent bond?
HCl (hydrogen chloride) has a covalent bond, polar.
Is polar bond stronger than non polar bond?
metal will conduct elecricity
Does N2 contains a polar covalent bond?
No. It contains non-polar covalent bond.
Does HF have a polar covalent bond?
yes it is a polar covalent bond. the difference of electronegativities of H and F is 1.9 , it should be an ionic bond but the ratio of atomic sizes of both the atoms is responsible for polar covalent bond.
If atoms that share electrons have an unequal attraction for the electrons the bond is called?
If atoms that share electrons have an unequal attraction for the electrons, the bond is called a polar covalent bond. This occurs when one atom has a higher electronegativity than the other, leading to an uneven distribution of electrons in the bond.
Is SO2 non polar covalent polar covalent or ionic bond?
Polar covalent. The difference in electronegtivity is insufficient for an ionic bond
Is a polar covalent bond shared unequally?
yes polar covalent bond shared unequally
Is ether a polar substance?
Polar. the C-O bond are polar
Is tif2 polar covalent bond?
Yes, a TIF2 bond is a polar covalent bond. This means that there is unequal sharing of electrons between the atoms involved in the bond.
What is an example of a polar bond?
HCl has the polar bond. Another polar bond is H2O, or water. And all those bonds are polar in which two atoms have a difference of electronegativities between 0.5 and 1.7 and their dipole moment is not zero.
Why like atoms form non-polar bond instead of polar bond?
The difference in electronegativity between th atoms foming the covalent bond leads to the polar nture of the bond. If the atoms are alike then there is NO difference in electronegativity- so - no bond polarity
