What does the term polar compound mean?

Answer 1

A polar covalent bond is a bond between two non-metals with different electronegativities.Only bonds between the same elements are truly nonpolar. The higher the difference in electronegativity

Answer 2

The covalent bond in which there is equal distribution of shared pair of electron between the atoms having same or nearly same electronegativity is called as non polar covalent bond .

the covalent bond in which there is no equal distribution shared pair of electron between atoms having more electronegativity difference results in formation of partial positive charge on less electronegative atom and partial negative charge on more electronegative atom is called as polar covalent bond . fluorine forms a nonpolar bond with another fluorine atom. in hydrogen fluoride, fluorine attracts electrons more strongly than hydrogen does, so the bond formed is polar.

Answer 3

a compound whose electrons are not shared equally in chemical bonds. water is a good example

Answer 4

Occurs when there is an unequal sharing of electrons.

Answer 5

A polar compound has SOME kind of unequal distribution of charge throughout its structure!
