Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Direction of polarity has to be indicated in each polar covalent bond.
Concept introduction:
Polarity of σ bonds depends on the electronegativity of the molecule. The partial negative charge atom has more electronegativity. Positive negative charge atom has less electronegativity.
