explain the relationship between bond polarity and electronegativity. please show examples
Added by James N.
Step 1
Electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract electrons in a chemical bond. The greater the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms, the more polar the bond will be. When two atoms with similar electronegativities form a bond, the Show more…
