Best Answer

Hydrogen bromide is the chemical name for the molecular formula HBr. This chemical has partial positive and negative charges due to the Br atom. Br is highly electronegative drawing the electron cloud towards it. This creates a partial negative around the Br in the same way it occurs around the oxygen in water.

Yes.

The electronegativity of H is 2.20 and that of Br is 2.96. When H and Br form a covalent bond, there will is a permanent dipole because the electron density is higher towards the Br atom.

The bond is polar. In any compound with only two elements it is only non-polar when they are the same element (must be Br2, I2, N2, Cl2, H2, O2, or F2). Bromine and Hydrogen have different electronegativities simply because they aren't the same element.

The H (hydrogen) end is positively charged and Br (bromine) end is negatively charged. Hydrogen bromide is a polar molecule.

This is chemistry. H stands for helium and Br is berillium. A covalent bond is a chemical term. A lot people wonder if HBr is a polar covalent bond. The answer is C.
