What is true about polar covalent bonds?

In a polar covalent bond, the electrons are not equally shared because one atom spends more time with the electrons than the other atom. In polar covalent bonds, one atom has a stronger pull than the other atom and attracts electrons.

Which of the following is a polar covalent bond?

P-Cl is the only polar covalent bond. The electronegativity value of phosphorous is 2.1 and the electronegativity value of chlorine is 3.0.

What must be always true if a covalent bond is polar?

A molecule is polar if the shared electrons are equally shared. A molecule is nonpolar if the shared electrons are are equally shared.

What are polar covalent bonds?

Polar Covalent Bonds. A polar covalent bond exists when atoms with different electronegativities share electrons in a covalent bond. Consider the hydrogen chloride (HCl) molecule. Each atom in HCl requires one more electron to form an inert gas electron configuration.
