A polar covalent bond is one in which the electrons are not shared equally. This results in the more electronegative atom developing a partial negative charge, and the less electronegative atom developing a partial positive charge.

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.

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.
