Chapter 12, Problem 23E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The positive poles in the bonds $\text{S}-\text{O}$, $\text{N}-\text{Cl}$, $\text{C}-\text{C}$ are to be identified.

Concept introduction:

The polar covalent bonds are formed between the atoms having a high difference in electronegativity values. The electrons in such a bond are not shared equally by the bonding atoms. In a nonpolar covalent bond, the atoms involved in bonding have the same electronegativity values.
