Bond polarity
Bond polarity refers to the unequal sharing of electrons between two atoms in a covalent bond, resulting in a partial positive charge on one atom and a partial negative charge on the other.
Dipole moment
A dipole moment describes the separation of electrical charge in a bond or molecule due to differences in electronegativity.
Dipole moment vector
A dipole moment vector is a vector pointing from the less electronegative atom to the more electronegative atom.
Electronegativity
Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract shared electrons in a covalent bond.
