How does a difference in electronegativity create a polar covalent bond?

(apex!) the electronegativities of the two atoms are NOT equal.

∙ 11y agoA covalent bond means that there are two atoms that are non metals bonding. Polar means that there is an uneven distribution of electrons between the atoms. For example, HF is very polar because Flourine has an electronegativity of 3.5 and Hydrogen 2.1 so the molecule is polar. Note: The electronegativities don't have to be equal, but rather close to each other.

Is Cl-Br a polar covalent bond compound?
Non-polar. The electronegativity difference is 0.2 which is non-polar covalent.
What type of electronegativity difference exists between atoms in a covalent bond?
If the electronegativity difference between two atoms is less than 1.7, then a covalent bond is formed between the two atoms.
Is AlBr3 covalent compound?
It is covalent and the bonds are polar covalent. This is because of the difference in electronegativity between aluminium and bromide.
Does ZnS contain a polar covalent bond?
Yes. the bonding is best described as covalent and because of the difference in electronegativity the bond is polar.
Is the term for a bond between two atoms that differ in electronegativity?
If there is a slight electronegativity difference, the bond is a nonpolar covalent bond. If there is a large electronegativity difference, it is an ionic bond. If the difference is somewhere between, it is a polar covalent bond.

What is the significance of an electronegativity difference of 1.7 and 2?
This is a characteristic of a polar covalent bond.
What is the electronegativity difference of AlBr3?
If it is 1.35 it is polar covalent and it is a liquid. Why is it a solid?
Is C-F polar or nonpolar?
Polar covalent. There is a significant difference in electronegativity between C and F.
Is C N polar or nonpolar?
Polar covalent. There is a significant difference in electronegativity between C and F.
What covalent bonds are most polar?
Bonds between two nonmetals that differ in electronegativity (EN) are usually polar. Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract electrons. Nonmetals with EN differences of 0.5-1.6 form polar covalent bonds. The greater the difference, the more polar. If the EN difference is
When atoms in a covalent bonds have a rather high difference in their electronegativity the bond is said to be?
polar
Is the bond between carbon and chlorine a polar covalent?
yes, the difference in electronegativity is .5
