** Same element

** different elements with a very similar electronegativity

103
Q

Polar covalent bond

A

Unequal electronegativity

Electrons are not shared equally

Atoms differ greatly in electronegativity

Shared electrons are more likely to be closer to the atom with greater electronegativity and less likely to be near the atom of lower electronegativity

Electrically neutral

104
Q

Contains regions of partial negative charge near the more electronegative atom

A

Polar covalent bonds
