Question

what occurs in a polar bond? the atoms have the same charge. the atoms have equal electronegativity. one atom is slightly more electronegative than the other.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

A polar bond forms when there is a difference in electronegativity between two atoms. The more electronegative atom attracts the shared - electrons more strongly, creating a partial negative charge on it and a partial positive charge on the other atom. If atoms have the same charge or equal electronegativity, the bond is non - polar. In a polar bond, one atom is slightly more electronegative than the other.

Answer:

One atom is SLIGHTLY more electronegative than the other.
