Question

What element has the highest electro negativity? The second highest? A covalent bond in which the electron pair is unequally shared is called by what name? Could a molecule composed of two atoms joined by a polar covalent bond ever be no polar? Explain.

Expert Solution

Step 1

The electronegativity of an element is the ability to attract the electron of another element. The covalent bond is the bonding between two atoms by sharing electrons. In covalent bonding, the electrons can be equally shared and the unequally shared. The unequal sharing of electrons leads to partial negative and positive charges on the molecule.
