what is difference between electro negitivity and polarity

Answer:
Electrons in a polar covalent bond are shifted toward the more electronegative atom; thus, the more electronegative atom is the one with the partial negative charge. The greater the difference in electronegativity, the more polarized the electron distribution and the larger the partial charges of the atoms.

- The key difference between electronegativity and polarity is that electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract the electrons in a bond towards it, whereas polarity means the separation of the charge
- Polarity is the measure of the difference in electronegativity between the different elements in the bond. If the electronegativity difference is over .4, then generally that means that it's polar.
- Basically, if a molecule is polar, it means that one side of the molecule has a higher affinity for electrons and will attract them more strongly, leading to a more positively charged side and a more negatively charged side.
