Polar covalent bonds are just like other covalent bonds except the fact that one of the elements in that is highly electronegative. Hence it is able to attract the shared pair of electrons towards itself.

What describes bonding in a polar covalent bond?

i dont know. you tell me


What type of bond if formed when electrons are shared?

Covalent bonding. It can be two types - polar covalent or nonpolar covalent. In polar covalent bonding, atoms do not share electrons equally. In nonpolar covalent bonding, atoms share electrons equally.


What is a covalent bond in which the bonding electrons are equally attracted to both bonded?

Non polar covalent bond


Covalent bonding is defined as polar when?

electrons are shared unequally between atoms.


Which describes bonding electrons in a polar covalent bond?

Bonding electrons in a polar covalent bond are shared unequally between atoms with differing electronegativities. This results in a partial positive charge on one atom and a partial negative charge on the other. The electrons spend more time closer to the more electronegative atom, creating a dipole moment in the bond.


What is the chemical bond resulting from the sharing of valence electrons by two atoms?

The simple answer is a Covalent bond. Polar covalent bonds have an unequal sharing. Pi bonds, which also involve can lead to a delocalisation of the electron pair. Multicentre bonds such as the so-called banana bond in diboarne has a pair shared across a B-H-B bridge.


What type of bonding CH3I?

CH3I exhibits covalent bonding, with the carbon and hydrogen atoms sharing electrons to form bonds. The iodine atom is connected via a polar covalent bond, in which the electrons are not shared equally between the carbon and iodine atoms.


What type of bonding is involved in the compound SiF4?

polar covalent - use the electronegativity difference


Why is the bonding in Oxygen molecules called pure covalent and the bonding in CO called polar covalent?

"Pure Covalent" is a synonym for "nonpolar covalent bonding". That means that each atom pulls equally on the electrons and doesn't produce a permanent dipole moment.


Which substance is correctly paired with its type of bonding br2 polar covalent?

The pairing of Br2 with polar covalent bonding is incorrect. Br2 exhibits nonpolar covalent bonding due to the similar electronegativities of the two bromine atoms causing a symmetrical distribution of electrons, resulting in a nonpolar molecule.


What type of bonding involves the unequal sharing of electrons?

Ionic bonds form from high differences in electronegativity. ******************2nd Opinion************** The above statement is very true, but unequal sharing is the term usually cited in conjunction with polar covalent bonds.


Which describes bonding electrons in a polar covlent bond?

In a polar covalent bond, the bonding electrons are shared unequally between the atoms involved due to differences in electronegativity. One atom has a stronger pull on the electrons, causing a partial negative charge, while the other atom becomes partially positive. This unequal sharing results in a dipole moment, making the bond polar.
