Answer 1

1) Covalent bond polarity.

To determine the polarity, we use a property called electronegativity. This is a tendency to attract shared electrons in a chemical bond. If the difference in electronegativity is greater than 1.7, the bond is polar. If the difference is less than 1.7, the bond is nonpolar.
