This depends on the electronegativity of atoms.


What holds the atoms together in a chemical bond?

electronegativity, and it izzz what makes some covalent bonds polar-because in a molecule, if a n atom has a greater ability to gain electrons than the other atoms in a molecule, the electrons will be pulled closer to that atom, causing there to be a slightly negative charge on that atom. -antdogg
