Since the bond polarity involves pulling of electrons towards itself, hence
a more electronegative element will be able to attract the electrons more
towards itself
...
The amount of their shifting will depend
upon the relative electronegativity of the participating atoms
...
This results in different bond
polarity between same participating atoms that are present in different
molecules
...
g
...
This is due to the different spatial
arrangement of various bonds in the molecule
...

The bond or the molecular polarities are related to the electronegativities
of the atoms or the molecules
...

Polar Molecules

A polar molecule usually forms when the one end of the molecule is said
to possess a number of positive charges and whereas the opposite end of
the molecule has negative charges
...
In a molecule having a polar bond, the centre of the negative charge
will be on one side
...
The entire molecule will be a polar molecule
...
In a solution, we cannot
mix a polar molecule with the non-polar molecule
...
In this solution, water is the polar molecule
...
These two molecules do not form
a solution
...

What are the Factors that Determine Whether a Molecule Is Polar?
• If the molecule or atom is perfectly symmetric, the molecule will not
be polar even if there are polar bonds present
...
The difference in
strength can be expected by comparing electronegativity values
...
