Question
The presence of polar bonds in a poly-atomic molecule suggests that the molecule has non-zero dipole moment.
Step 1
A polar bond is a type of covalent bond between two atoms in which electrons are shared unequally. Because of this, one end of the molecule has a slight negative charge and the other end has a slight positive charge. Show more…
