Key Concepts

Electronegativity

Electronegativity is the ability of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons toward itself. Differences in electronegativity between atoms determine how electrons are distributed in a chemical bond, impacting the bond's properties and the overall behavior of the molecule.

Bond Polarity

Bond polarity arises when there is an unequal sharing of electrons between atoms in a bond due to differences in their electronegativities. The greater the difference in electronegativity between two bonded atoms, the more polar the bond, meaning that one atom will exhibit a partial negative charge while the other exhibits a partial positive charge.
