18 Μαΐ 2021 · The ability of an atom in a molecule to attract shared electrons is called electronegativity. When two atoms combine, the difference between their electronegativities is an indication of the type of bond that will form.
Example 1: Using Electronegativity to Explain Why Water Is a Polar Molecule. A single water molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Which of the following statements explains why water is a polar molecule? Hydrogen atoms are much smaller than oxygen atoms.
Electronegativity is the power of an atom to attract the pair of electrons in a covalent bond towards itself. The electron distribution in a covalent bond between elements with different electronegativities will be unsymmetrical.
Video Transcript. Is a water, H2O, molecule a polar or nonpolar solvent? Before discussing whether water is polar or nonpolar, we need to recall the definition of electronegativity. Electronegativity is a measure of the ability of an atom to attract bonding pairs of electrons from covalent bonds.

16 Απρ 2023 · Differences in electronegativity between two atoms can be used to determine if their bond is nonpolar, polar, or ionic. Nonpolar covalent bonds have an equal distribution of electron density between the two nuclei.
As a rough guide, bonds between atoms whose electronegativities differ by less than 0.5 are nonpolar covalent, bonds between atoms whose electronegativities differ by 0.5 to 2 are polar covalent, and bonds between atoms whose electronegativities differ by more than 2 are largely ionic.
