Best Answer

Bonds between two nonmetals that differ in electronegativity (EN) are usually polar. Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract electrons. Nonmetals with EN differences of 0.5-1.6 form polar covalent bonds. The greater the difference, the more polar. If the EN difference is <0.5, the bond is nonpolar covalent.
