    Polarity in molecules is determined by how atoms share electrons in chemical bonds. When one atom in a bond has a stronger attraction to the shared electrons than the other, it forms a polar molecule with a slight charge imbalance. The polarity of a bond depends on the difference in electronegativity, or electron attracting tendency, between the two bonded atoms - a difference between 0.4-1.7 results in a polar bond, and a larger difference means the bond has ionic properties.

    Polarity of Molecules

    The way atoms bond with one another is referred to as polarity. When atoms are chemically bond
    together, they share electrons. When one of the atoms in a bond has a stronger attractive force on
    the electrons in the link, it forms a polar molecule. The electrons are pulled more towards that atom,
    resulting in a small charge imbalance in the molecule. The polarity of a bond is determined by a
    periodic concept called electronegativity. Electronegativity is an expression of an atom’s tendency to
    attract electrons in a chemical bond. To determine the polarity of a bond, you must find the
    difference in the electronegativities of the atoms involved. If the difference is between 0.4 and 1.7,
    the bond will be polar. If the difference is greater, the bond willhave an ionic trait.
