Question

What are polar compounds. Give example

6. Eletcronegativity values of some elements are given​

Answer 1

Answer:

Examples of Polar Compounds

Water is a polar compound because the covalent bonds between hydrogen and oxygen in the water molecule are polar in nature. The bond polarity in the hydrogen-oxygen bond arises due to the differences in the electronegativities of hydrogen and oxygen

For water (H

2

O):

Electronegativity difference =3.5−2.2=1.3

If the electronegativity difference is less than 1.7 it forms covalent compounds.
