The electronegativity difference between the atoms that are bonded. If there is a difference say above 0.5 (the lower limit is a debatable one- there are various cut-offs that are suggetsed- ensure you use the one preferred by your examining board/teacher) then the bond will be polar. The greater the difference the more polar it will be

How can you tell if a bond bond is polar or non-polar?

Check the electronegativities of the atoms in the bond. The bond will be polar if there is a difference in electronegativity. The most electronegative element will attract the bonding eletrons to it becoming slightly negatively charged. The other end of the bond will become slightly positively charged. For example a bond between carbon and chlorine, C-Cl: C electronegativity 2.55 Cl electronegativity 3.16 The bond will be polar because of the difference in electronegativity, and Cl will be slightly negative, carbon slightly positive.


How are electrons shared in a non-polar bond?

In a non-polar covalent bond the sharing of electrons between the atoms is equal.This depends on the difference between the electronegativities involved in the bond; when a difference don't exist or is minimal the bond is non-polar.As an example the diatomic hydrogen bond is non-polar.


Is O and H polar?

Any bond between two atoms of the same element are non polar. Hence, O-O bond is non polar.

What is an example of a non-polar covalent bond?

An example of a non-polar covalent bond is the bond between two chlorine atoms in a chlorine molecule (Cl2). In this bond, the electrons are shared equally between the two chlorine atoms, resulting in no separation of charge and making it a non-polar covalent bond.
