What is electronegativity?

Electronegativity and Polarity

Polarity – the separation of electric charge

Usually due to the shifting of electrons

Can determine using difference in the two elements

electronegativity

Polarity

• Non-polar bonds have a small or no difference in polarity which causes

• Polar bonds have a larger difference in polarity

Think about covalent bonds as a game of tug of war

• A Nonpolar bonds is an evenly matched game of tug of war where both sides pull equally on the rope.

• A polar bond is an unevenly matched game of tug of war where one side pulls harder.
