Question
What is the Polar Covalent bond?
Short/Brief Note
Advertisements
Solution
Polar covalent bond is a chemical bond in which the electrons required to form a bond is unequally shared between two atoms. The atom which is more electronegative attracts more electrons from the bonded pair than the other atom. As a result there is a slight separation of charges in a molecule in which more electronegative atom (comparatively) carries a slight negative charge and less electronegative atom carries a positive charge. The bonds formed between two atoms have a permanent electric dipole.
