Polar Covalent Bond. This is when a pair of electrons is shared between two atoms in a molecule but the electrons are not equally shared. Because the Oxygen atom has a stronger pull on the electrons than the Hydrogen, the electrons will be more drawn to the Oxygen atom.
No, the opposite occurs. As the oxygen atom is much larger, it has a bigger 'pull' on the shared electrons, creating an uneven distribution of electrons known as a permanent dipole. No, Oxygen pulls the electrons more strongly than the Hydrogen, resulting in a partial negative charge on the Oxygen, and partial positive charges on the hydrogens.
No, oxygen is much more likely to collect additional electrons. This is because oxygen has 6 of the 8 orbitals in its valence shell and only needs two more electrons to be stable. Also, oxygen is highly electronegative, so even when it is sharing electrons with another atom it tends to pull the shared electrons to itself and away from the other atom.
Oxygen atoms are highly electronegative and pull electrons away from the electropositive hydrogen atom.
Under normal conditions of temperature and pressure, oxygen gains electrons. The outermost orbital in an oxygen atom has four electrons., i.e., the outermost orbit has six electrons. Hence, to reach the octet configuration, oxygen can take two more electrons. Thus, oxygen is electronegative.
Fluorine and oxygen are non metals. They pull hard the electrons.

the excess protons pull harder on the fewer neutrons

No, oxygen is much more likely to collect additional electrons. This is because oxygen has 6 of the 8 orbitals in its valence shell and only needs two more electrons to be stable. Also, oxygen is highly electronegative, so even when it is sharing electrons with another atom it tends to pull the shared electrons to itself and away from the other atom.
The protons pull harder on the remaining electrons.
NO is polar. If you compare the electronegativities (how strongly the element pulls on electrons) N 3.04 O 3.44 ( bigger therefore pulls electrons harder) The electrons will be drawn to the oxygen causing it to be slightly negative, and the N to be slightly positive.
chlorine, fluorine, oxygen
There are 16 electrons in an oxygen molecule as each oxygen atom has 8 electrons.
Under normal conditions of temperature and pressure, oxygen gains electrons. The outermost orbital in an oxygen atom has four electrons., i.e., the outermost orbit has six electrons. Hence, to reach the octet configuration, oxygen can take two more electrons. Thus, oxygen is electronegative.
