In a polar covalent bond,the atom that has the most electronegativity will have a
A)full negative charge (-1).
B)full positive charge (+1).
C)partial negative charge.
D)partial positive charge.
E)neutral charge.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a polar covalent bond, electrons are shared unequally between two atoms. The atom that is more electronegative will pull the shared electrons closer to its nucleus, creating a partial negative charge. The other atom will have a partial positive charge as a result. Therefore, the correct answer is C, which stands for "partial negative charge."
