Concept introduction:
Electronegativity is defined as the tendency of an atom to attract electrons towards it. Polarized bonds are a result of the electronegativity difference between bonding atoms. The more electronegative atom acquires a partial negative charge and the less electronegative atom acquires partial positive charge while showing charge distribution.
