How does elecronegativity affect the polarity of the bond between two atoms?

∙ 6y ago
The more electronegative an atom is the more "pull" the atom will have on the electrons in the molecules. For example, water (H2O) contains the very electronegative atom Oxygen. Oxygen would pull more electrons toward it so the hydrogen would essentially lose their electrons. The dipole moment would point towards the oxygen. Therefore, the more electronegative an atom is the more the dipole moment will point in its direction therefore affecting polarity of the bond.

∙ 9y agoElectronegativity is directly correlated with bond polarity. Electron spending will cause both a negative and positive charge, thus making atoms polar. If both were a negative charge, it would not be a polar bond.

∙ 6y agoThe greater the difference in electronegativity, the more polar the bond. The end with the more electronegative atom will have the partial negative charge, and the other the partial positive charge.

Electronegativity difference between two atoms: approx. 0; covalent nonpolar bond.

The greater the electronegativity difference between two bonded atoms the greater the percentage of?
The greater the electronegativity difference between the two bonded atoms, greater is the ionic character of the bond.
Would a TRIPLE covalent bond be polar?
The cause of polarity is the electronegativity difference between the atoms. This can occur with triple bonds. The only elents that readiliy form triple bonds are carbon and nitrogen. One example is acetonitrile H3CCN which has a triple bond between carbon and nitrogen and a high dipole moment, indicating bond polarity.
What is the difference between individual bond polarity and molecular polarity?
bond polarity is the polarity particular bond within a molecule, while molecular polarity is the polarity of the whole molecule. take for example water (H20): you could find the bond polarity of each H-0 bond (polar covalent), or the polarity of the whole molecule together (polar, because the electronegativity of oxygen is higher than the hydrogen atoms)
Does bromine-bromine have polar covalent bonds or non-polar covalent bonds?
Any two identical atoms must necessarily have non-polar bonds. Polarity is caused by differences in electronegativity between the atoms (in other words, one atom attracts electrons more than the other).
Which is most polar HBr HCl HI?
The polarity of a bond increases with the increment of the difference of electronegativity between the corresponding two atoms. Therefore HCl is most polar whereas HI is the weakest among the given.
How does electronegative affect the polarity the polarity of the bond between two atoms?
The more electronegative atom will make its end of the bond more negative.-Apex
What is the concept of polarity due to?
Differences of polarity between different compounds (molecules) have two causes: - differences of asymmetry between these molecules - differences between the electronegativity of the atoms contained in the molecule
How the forces between neutral atoms are formed?
the forces between nuclear atoms are formed from the balance of equal opposite charges resulting to polarity
What causes polarity between two atoms?
Polarity between two atoms is caused by a significant difference in electronegativity. This means that one atom can attract the electron in a covalent bond more than the other such that it becomes slighlt neagtive and the other slightly positive.
What is the molecular polarity of F2?
Polarity occurs when an atom of a chemical bonds to the electrons rather than the other atoms. F2 polarity occurs when the atoms in the bond are the same.
The greater the electronegativity difference between two bonded atoms the greater the percentage of?
The greater the electronegativity difference between the two bonded atoms, greater is the ionic character of the bond.
Which pair of atoms has the greatest polarity?

Is a carbon carbon bond non polar?
Yes. A bond between two atoms of the same element is nonpolar. Polarity occurs when an atoms with differing electronegativity values bond.
What is starches polarity?
Starch is non-polar. Things that are non-polar are bonds between 2 nonmetal atoms that have the same electronegativity.
How the number of electrons in the outer shells will affect an atoms tendency to interact with other atoms?

Why like atoms form non-polar bond instead of polar bond?
The difference in electronegativity between th atoms foming the covalent bond leads to the polar nture of the bond. If the atoms are alike then there is NO difference in electronegativity- so - no bond polarity
