Answer:

the electron will be drawn more toward the atom with the higher e lectronegativity resulting in a polar covalent bond.

Step-by-step explanation:

When atoms of different elements share electrons through covalent bonding, the electron will be drawn more toward the atom with the higher e lectronegativity resulting in a polar covalent bond. When compared to ionic compounds, covalent compounds usually have a lower melting and boiling point, and have less of a tendency to dissolve in water.
