A polar covalent bond is a type of covalent bond in which atoms share electrons unequally. The electrons shared by the atoms spend a greater amount of time closer to one type of atom than to the other atoms in that bond.

Does salt dissolve in vegetable oil?
Salt cannot dissolve in oil. This is because salt is a non-polar substance, because it's bonds are non-polar (this is not to say though that polar bonds always means its a polar substance, but that's another issue). Oil is a polar substance (meaning one end of its molecule is has a slight negative charge, the other a slightly positive charge. It is known that LIKE dissolves LIKE. (e.g. Polar dissovles Polar). There are VERY few exceptions to this.
Is sucrose an organic molecule?
AnswerYes.See the Related Questions link to the left for more information about how to determine if any molecule is polar or not.Yes, Sucrose is a polar molecule because the formula is C12H22O11 and any formula with a single Hydrogen molecule, or a single Oxygen molecule is polar. It is held together with dipole-dipole forces.
Is the element mercury polar or non-polar?
The element Mercury is considered to be non polar. It is not a compound but a molten metal. Mercury atoms are bonded to each other with metallic bonds.
What are 3 unique characteristics of water?
Odorless Colorless Tasteless
How do you identify polar or nonpolar?
Any molecule that has a charge, negative or positive, is considered polar. in covalent bonds, polarity happens by one atom not sharing the electrons equally, so the atoms recieve a charge. Any molecule that contains an oxygen along with a hydrogen is also polar, but if it only contains Hydrogens and Carbons it is non-polar. Enjoy!
Three main types of chemical bonds?
The three types of chemical formuals are: empirical, molecular, and structural.
Onced formed how are cordanite covelent bonds differ from other covelent bonds?
Once formed there is NO difference from other covalant bonds. Coordinate covalent bonds only differ from other covalent bonds because a single element donates all the electrons that are to be shared.
What kind of bond has atoms bond by sharing electrons?
covelent bonds
The attraction that forms between atoms when they share electrons is known as a?
A bond where electrons are shared is known as a covelent bond. If the electrons are shared evenly (such as Cl2) it is a non polar covelent bond. If one atom has a slightly stronger pull because of a higher elctronegativity value (such as H2O) it is a polar covelent bond. Ionic bonds are when electrons are taken leaving a positive and negative ion.
What are an electrically neutral group of atoms joined together by covelent bonds are called?
molecules
A molecule with polar bonds can be polar?
It can be beause when polar bonds form, they gather with other bonds.
Is water composed of polar bonds?
Yes, water has polar bonds, and is a very polar molecule.
Does SBr2 has polar or nonpolar bonds?
No, it is non-polar.
What are the different types of chemical bonds?
Ionic bonds, Covalent bonds, Hydrogen bonds, Polar Covalent bonds, Non-Polar Covalent bonds, and Metallic bonds.
Is asf3 polar?
It is a polar molecule and has polar bonds.
Is octane polar?
No, it's not polar as there are no polar bonds.
When does the shape of a molecule affect it's polarity?
when the molecule contains polar bonds
