A bond that carries partial positive and negative
charges on opposite ends is called a
polar covalent bond, or often simply a polar
bond (the word covalent is understood). The
term polar comes from the notion of poles of
equal but opposite charge at either end
of the bond. Because two poles of electric charge
are involved, the bond is said to be an
electric dipole.
The dipole moments are reported in debye
units (symbol D), where 1 D = 3.34 × 10-30
C m (coulomb × meter).
Formal Charge: The apparent charge on an atom in a molecule
or polyatomic ion as calculated by a set of rules.
This type of bond, in which both electrons of the shared pair come
from just one of the two atoms, is called a coordinate covalent
bond.
These two Lewis structures are called resonance structures or
contributing structures..The actual structure of the ion, which we
can’t draw, is called a resonance hybrid of these two
resonance structures. The double-ended arrow is used to show that we
are drawing resonance structures and implies that the true hybrid
structure is a composite of the two resonance structures.
