POLARITY OF BONDS AND
ELECTRONEGATIVITY
Molecules are the building blocks of
matter and are formed when two or
more atoms chemically bond together.
These atoms can be of the same
element, forming diatomic molecules
like oxygen (O2) or nitrogen (N2), or
they can be of different elements,
forming compounds like water (H2O) or
carbon dioxide (CO2).
Chemical bonds are the forces that hold
atoms together in molecules or
compounds. They result from the
interactions between the electrons of
atoms. The formation of chemical bonds
allows atoms to achieve a more stable
electronic configuration, typically by
attaining a full outer electron shell
(valence shell).
The polarity of a chemical bond refers to
the distribution of electrons between
atoms within a molecule, leading to
regions of partial positive and negative
charges. It is a fundamental concept in
chemistry that influences the physical and
chemical properties of molecules.
Electronegativity is a fundamental
concept in chemistry that
measures the tendency of an atom
to attract electrons towards itself
in a chemical bond. It plays a
crucial role in determining the
type of bond formed between
atoms, as well as the polarity of
molecules.
 Polar covalent bonds occur when there is an
unequal sharing of electrons between atoms due
to differences in electronegativity. This results
in the formation of partial positive and negative
A covalent bond forms when atoms share charges on the atoms involved.

pairs of electrons to achieve a stable

electron configuration. Covalent bonds
can be polar or non-polar, depending on
the electronegativity difference between
the atoms involved. In a covalent bond, Non-polar covalent bonds occur when there

 LET’S TRY!
Calculate the electronegativity difference and give the type of
bond that exists between the atoms in each of the following
pairs.

5. C and N
In your own words, differentiate polar and nonpolar covalent bond.

1. What is electronegativity and how can it be used in in determining the polarity

of molecules?
2. Is it possible for a molecule to have a polar bond but have an overall polarity of
nonpolar?
3. Differentiate bonding and non-bonding electrons.
 ASSESSMENT
DIRECTIONS: TRUE OR FALSE: WRITE TRUE IF THE STATEMENT IS CORRECT,
OTHERWISE WRITE FALSE.

1. S and O are bound by a polar covalent bond because their electronegativity

difference value is 1.0.
2. Atoms with high electronegativity have a greater tendency to attract electrons toward
themselves.
3. Polarity of molecules are determined both by polarity of bonds and molecular
geometry.
4. Among C-Cl, H-Cl, C-H and Cl-Cl, only Cl-Cl is polar.
5. Methyl alcohol, CH3OH, is a nonpolar molecule.
 ASSIGNMENT

Ammonia (NH3) is polar molecule

while boron trifluoride (BF3) is a
nonpolar
molecule. Explain the difference in
the polarity of these compounds.
