How will you explain the polarity of covalent compounds?

Answer»

in a polar covalent bond, the electrons SHARED by the atoms spend a greater AMOUNT of time, on the AVERAGE, closer to the Oxygen NUCLEUS than the Hydrogen nucleus. This is because of the geometry of the molecule and the GREAT electronegativity difference between the Hydrogen atom and the Oxygen atom.
