Why is covalent bonds polar?

There are two hydrogen atoms. Hydrogen is positively charged. That means that there is a 2+.

There is one oxygen atom. Oxygen is negatively charged. This means that there is a 1-.

(2+) - (1-) = 1+ charge

A water molecule is polar because one side of the molecule is positively charged and the other is negatively charged due to it's molecular structure.

What is the different between polar covalent and non polar covalent?

polar bonds are non metals bonded to non metals and non polar covalent bonds are bonds sharing electrons.....


What are the 2 types of covalent bonds?

The two types of covalent bonds are polar covalent bonds and nonpolar covalent bonds. Polar covalent bonds occur when the atoms share electrons unequally, leading to a slight charge separation. Nonpolar covalent bonds form when atoms share electrons equally.


Which substance has polar covalent bonds SO2 Cl2 N2 or CaO?

SO2 is the substance that has polar covalent bonds. This is because sulfur and oxygen have different electronegativities, resulting in an uneven sharing of electrons in the covalent bonds within the molecule.


What kind of bond are formed by share electrons?

When electrons are shared, covalent bonds are formed. Covalent bonds are of two types, polar and non-polar. A complex type of covalent bonds are co-ordinate covalent bonds or dative bonds.


What is the increasing ordor of electronegativity in ionic bond and polar covalent bond and non polar covalent bond?

The increasing order of electronegativity in bonds is lowest for nonpolar covalent bonds, followed by polar covalent bonds, and highest for ionic bonds. In nonpolar covalent bonds, the electronegativity difference between atoms is minimal, whereas in polar covalent bonds, there is a moderate electronegativity difference leading to partial charges. Ionic bonds have the highest electronegativity difference, resulting in complete transfer of electrons.


What melts faster a polar or a non polar covalent bond?

Polar covalent bonds generally melt faster than nonpolar covalent bonds. This is because polar covalent bonds have uneven distribution of electron density, leading to stronger intermolecular forces between molecules, making it easier to break the bonds.


What types of bonds hold together a water molecule?

Water has covalent bonds.The bonds between atoms in a water molecule are covalent bond, somewhat polar ones.


Is H2O a covalent compound?

Yes. It has polar covalent bonds.


Which of these chemical bonds weakest non-polar covalent or polar covalent or hyrdrogen or ionic?

Hydrogen bonds are the weakest of the listed chemical bonds. They result from the attraction between a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to an electronegative atom (e.g., oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine) and another electronegative atom. Ionic bonds, polar covalent bonds, and non-polar covalent bonds are stronger than hydrogen bonds.
