This is a polar covalent bond.


Do all polar molecules contain polar covalent bonds?

Yes, polar molecules contain polar covalent bonds. A polar covalent bond is formed when atoms with different electronegativities share electrons unevenly, creating a partial positive and partial negative charge. These charges result in an overall dipole moment for the molecule, making it polar.


How does a polar covalent bond differ from a covalent bond?

Electrons are shared unequally in a polar bond.


Are N and O a polar covalent bond?

Yes, the N-O bond is a polar covalent bond. Nitrogen and oxygen have differences in electronegativity that result in unequal sharing of electrons, causing a partial positive charge on the nitrogen atom and a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom.

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.
