Q

what does a polar covalent bond mean ?

A

the more electronegative atom has a greater share of the 2 electrons and is delta - while the less electronegative atom has a lower share and is delta +

Q

at is a bond dipole moment ?

A

a bond dipole moment is a measure of the strength and direction of the polarity in the bond, so the bigger the difference in electronegativity, the bigger the bond dipole moment
