28 Φεβ 2021 · Polar Covalent Bonds. There are two types of covalent bonds: polar and nonpolar. In a polar covalent bond, shown in Figure 1, the electrons are unequally shared by the atoms and are attracted more to one nucleus than the other.

- 4.3: Polarity and Intermolecular Forces
Bond Polarity. Bond polarity is determined by the difference in electronegativity and is defined as the relative ability of an atom to attract electrons when present in a compound. The electronegativities of various elements are shown below. Note that elecronegativity values increase from left to right and from bottom to top on the periodic table.
Polar covalent bonds. The polar covalent bond can be illustrated by examining the association between O and H in water (H 2 O). Oxygen has an electronegativity of 3.44, while hydrogen has an electronegativity of 2.20. The difference in electronegativity is 1.24.
Learning Objectives. Recognize bond characteristics of covalent compounds: bond length and bond polarity. Use electronegativity values to predict bond polarity. If there is only one bond in the molecule, the bond polarity determines the molecular polarity.
22 Μαρ 2021 · Any covalent bond between atoms of different elements is a polar bond, but the degree of polarity varies widely. Some bonds between different elements are only minimally polar, while others are strongly polar.
For example, molecular oxygen (O 2) is nonpolar because the electrons will be equally distributed between the two oxygen atoms. Another example of a nonpolar covalent bond is methane (CH 4), also shown in Figure 1. Carbon has four electrons in its outermost shell and needs four more to fill it.
For example, the methane molecule, CH 4, which is the major component of natural gas, has four bonding pairs of electrons around the central carbon atom; the electron-pair geometry is tetrahedral, as is the molecular structure (Figure 7.17).
