प्रश्न

Explain an example of a Polar Covalent bond.

संक्षेप में उत्तर

उत्तर

In water (H2O) molecule, covalent bond exists between Hydrogen and Oxygen. Being more electronegative Oxygen carries negative charge and Hydrogen carries positive charge. In a water molecule Oxygen carries a negative charge (anionic in nature) and hydrogen’s carries positive charge (cationic in nature) which forms a polar covalent bond. The size of an oxygen atom is comparatively higher than a hydrogen atom, hence it polarizes the molecule towards itself i.e., it attracts shared pair of bonding electrons towards itself and makes the bond to be more polarized. Hydrogen which is comparatively a small-sized cation makes the bond to be polarized better.
