Oxygen is a highly electronegative atom while hydrogen is a lot less electronegative as compared to oxygen. Thus, the oxygen atom will attract the electrons in the covalent bond towards itself. As a result, the oxygen atom gains a slight negative charge due to the closer proximity of electrons while the hydrogen atom gains a slight positive charge because its electrons are now further away from the protons.

Thus, the molecule formed will have slightly charged ends, which makes it polar.

N-H bond in NH4Cl bond?

The N-H bond in NH4Cl is a covalent bond formed between a nitrogen atom and a hydrogen atom. In NH4Cl, the nitrogen atom is bonded to four hydrogen atoms. This bond is generally considered polar covalent due to the difference in electronegativity between nitrogen and hydrogen.

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.

Would H and CI form polar covalent bond?

Yes, H and Cl can form a polar covalent bond. Hydrogen is less electronegative than chlorine, so the bond will have a partial positive charge on the H atom and a partial negative charge on the Cl atom. This results in a polar covalent bond.
