Bond Polarity

S-H

P-S

Cl-Cl

O-O

Because atoms have different electronegativities

Because atoms are always identical

Because electrons are always shared equally

Because covalent bonds are always polar

The ability of an atom to lose electrons

The measure of attraction for electrons in a bond

The number of protons in an atom

The energy required to break a bond

Hydrogen

Chlorine

Both have the same electronegativity

It depends on the environment

Polar bonds involve unequal sharing of electrons between two atoms.

Polar bonds always occur between identical atoms.

Polar bonds result in the formation of partial charges.

Polar bonds never create poles in a molecule.

A bond formed by the equal sharing of electrons between two atoms

A bond formed by the unequal sharing of electrons between two atoms

A bond formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to another

A bond formed by the attraction between ions

Br-Br

H-Cl

S-H

N-O

Because atoms have different electronegativities

Because atoms are always identical

Because electrons are always shared equally

Because covalent bonds are always polar
