Polar molecules are composed of covalently bonded

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Polar molecules are composed of atoms with different electronegativities, resulting in an uneven distribution of charge within the molecule. This creates a dipole moment, meaning that the molecule has both a positive and negative end. Covalently bonded identical atoms or atoms with equivalent electronegativity will not create a dipole moment, and ions will not have covalent bonds. Carbon atoms can create polar or nonpolar molecules depending on the electronegativity of their bonding partners.
