Let's talk about electronegativity and how it's going to help determine whether a covalent bond is going to be polar or non -polar.
00:07
So a polar cobalin bond is going to have a nucleus of one atom that's going to exert a much stronger pole of the shared electrons than the other nucleus, while a non -polar cobalin bond is going to have both the atoms exerting about the same pole on the shared electrons.
00:28
So electronegativity is just going to be the atom's ability to pull electrons.
00:32
Towards that one atom or the one that atom's nucleus.
00:37
And this is going to be on a scale of zero to four, with four being the most electronegative.
00:42
So if you have an atom with an electronegativity of one, that's going to be a pretty low electronegativity, and it's not really going to have a strong force pulling those electrons towards that atom.
00:55
So let's kind of go through a couple of examples to show whether the covalent bond should be polar and nonpartial.
01:03
Polar based on electronegativity.
01:06
So if we have an atom with a high electronegativity and an atom with a low electronegativity, this atom with the high electronegativity is going to have a stronger attraction or a stronger pole of electrons toward that atom...
