Both. One side is positive while the other is negative. Taking H2O as an example, the hydrogen molecule pulls the shared electrons closer to itself, and further away from the two Oxygen molecules. This gives the Oxygen side of the H2O molecule a positive charge and the Hydrogen side a negative charge.
Nitrogen can form three covalent bonds when it has no negative charge.
An oxygen atom with a negative charge can form two covalent bonds. This is because oxygen normally forms two covalent bonds to achieve a stable electron configuration, and the negative charge does not affect its ability to form bonds.
It has a negative charge which means its -2 :) Hope this answers the question!
No, covalent bonds do not have a charge.
Yes, molecular polarity is associated with covalent bonds. The unequal sharing of electrons in a covalent bond can result in a separation of charge within the molecule, leading to regions of partial positive and partial negative charge, which determine the overall polarity of the molecule.

Materials with ionic bonds share electrons unequally, leading to the formation of positive and negative ions. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons, either equally in nonpolar covalent bonds or unequally in polar covalent bonds, which can create a partial positive and negative charge within the molecule.
Yes phospate bonds have a negative charge.
Hydrogen bonds and covalent bonds are two completely different things. Covalent bonds share an electron, while hydrogen bonds (just for water molecules) act like magnets- the Oxygen atom has a slight negative charge and it "attracts" the Hydrogen atoms, which have a slight positive charge.
An oxygen atom with a negative charge can form two covalent bonds. This is because oxygen normally forms two covalent bonds to achieve a stable electron configuration, and the negative charge does not affect its ability to form bonds.
A polar covalent bond consists of a positive and negative end.

Nonpolar covalent bonds are less common because most elements have different electronegativities, leading to an unequal sharing of electrons in a covalent bond. This typically results in the formation of polar covalent bonds where one atom has a slightly negative charge and the other has a slightly positive charge. Nonpolar covalent bonds only occur when two identical atoms are bonded together.
When atoms in a covalent bond have a rather high difference in their electronegativities, the bond is said to be polar covalent. In polar covalent bonds, electrons are unequally shared between the atoms, resulting in a partial positive and partial negative charge on the atoms.
