A polar bond occurs when there is an unequal sharing of electrons between two atoms in a molecule, creating a partial positive and partial negative charge. A polar molecule, on the other hand, is a molecule that has an overall uneven distribution of electron density, resulting in a positive and negative end. In summary, a polar bond refers to the relationship between two atoms, while a polar molecule describes the entire molecule as a whole.
What else can I help you with?
What two things determine whether or not molecule is polar?
The shape of the molecule and The electronegativity differences of atoms in the molecule
Is SO2 a polar bond but nonpolar covalent bond compound?
While the sulfur-oxygen bond in SO2 is polar due to the difference in electronegativity between sulfur and oxygen, the overall molecule is considered polar because of its bent shape which results in an uneven distribution of charge. Therefore, SO2 is a polar molecule.
Why does oxygen molecule not form a polar covalent bond?
Oxygen molecule (O2) does not form a polar covalent bond because the oxygen atoms share electrons equally due to their equal electronegativity values. This leads to a nonpolar covalent bond, where the electrons are shared symmetrically between the two oxygen atoms.
Is c2h60 polar?
Yes, C2H6O (ethanol) is polar due to the presence of an OH group (alcohol group) in the molecule. The electronegativity difference between carbon and oxygen results in a polar covalent bond, making the molecule polar overall.
Is boric acid polar or non polar?

Is GeBr a polar?
Yes, GeBr (germanium bromide) is a polar molecule. This is because the Ge-Br bond is polar due to the difference in electronegativity between germanium and bromine.
Why does oxygen molecule not form a polar covalent bond?
Oxygen molecule (O2) does not form a polar covalent bond because the oxygen atoms share electrons equally due to their equal electronegativity values. This leads to a nonpolar covalent bond, where the electrons are shared symmetrically between the two oxygen atoms.

Yes, C2H6O (ethanol) is polar due to the presence of an OH group (alcohol group) in the molecule. The electronegativity difference between carbon and oxygen results in a polar covalent bond, making the molecule polar overall.
Is boric acid polar or non polar?
Polar
Is SO2 a nonpolar covalent bond?
No. The sulfur oxygen bond is polar due to the electronegativity difference between S, EN 2.58, and O, EN 3.44. The molecule is bent and therefore the bond dipoles do not cancel and SO2 has a dipole moment of 1.62D
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.
Why is Oxygen not a polar molecule?
A molecule is polar if there is a difference in electronegativity between two atoms that are bonded together. Since there is no difference in electronegativity between two oxygen atoms, O2 is nonpolar.
Is fluorine molecule polar molecule?
No. Fluorine is an element. Two atoms of the same element will not form a polar bond because there is no difference in electronegativity.
What describes a bond formed between two unlike atoms?
The type of bond is determined by the difference in electrongativity of atoms
