What causes a covalent bond to become polar?
the difference of electronegativities is responsible if this difference is between 0.5 to 1.7 bond is a polar covalent bond higher is this difference higher is polarity but it is for diatomic molecules other molecules are polar or non polar, it depends upon another factor known as dipole moment.
What contributes to the polarity of a water molecule?
This is the difference of electronegativity between oxygen and hydrogen.
Explain the relationship between electronegativity and polarity?
If two atoms have equal electronegativities, they tend to share electrons equally in non-polar covalent bonds. However, if electronegativities differ, then the atoms tend to form either polar covalent bonds or ionic bonds.
What does the presence of a polar covalent bond show about the electronegativites of its two atoms?
That the electronegativities of the two atoms are substantially different - enough so to cause polarity in the bond. However, the difference in electronegativities is not great enough to cause an ionic bond to be formed.
What property determines whether an atom forms an ionic polar covelant or nonpolar covelant bond?
You have to now the VSERP theory. The number of valence electrons determine the polarity of the molecule as well of the electronegativities of the elements involved. The less symmetric the molecule the more polar it is.
Why carbon monoxide is polar?
CO is a diatomic linear molecule C=O, both these atoms have about '1.0' difference of electronegativities so it is in the range of polarity and it has a certain value of Dipole moment.
The degree of polarity of a chemical bond in a molecule of a compound can be predicted by determining the difference in the?
electronegativity. this is the strength of the pull of electrons to the element, as opposed to the tendency of metallic elements to be electropostive, that is to give up electrons.
Why the poles are formed in molecule?
It is due to the difference of electronegativities of two atoms ,the higher electronegative atom attracts the electrons powerfully and acquires a partially negative charge while other becomes partially positive this is polarity.

When two atoms form a chemical bond by sharing electrons will the resulting molecule be polar or non polar?
The polarity of the molecule will depend on the electronegativities of the 2 atoms involved. For example, a molecule of F2 where F binds to F will be non polar as there is no difference in electrnegativities. However, a molecule of HF will be polar because F is more electronegative than is H.
What is the polarity and molecular shape of O2?
This molecule, like all other diatomic gas elements, is non-polar and has a rod-like shape.

Is a nitrogen molecule nonpolar or polar?
Nitrogen gas (N2) is completely non-polar.See the Related Questions for how to determine the polarity of any molecule!
How is o2 and f2 similar?
Both of these are diatomic molecules which show no polarity.
