88/The curved arrow notation introduced in Section 1.6B is a powerful method used by organic chemists to show the movement of electrons not only in resonance structures, but also in chemical reactions. Because each curved arrow shows the movement of two electrons, following the curved arrows illustrates what bonds are broken and formed in a reaction. Consider the following three-step process. (a) Add curved arrows in Step [1] to show the movement of electrons. (b) Use the curved arrows drawn in Step [2] to identify the structure of X. X is converted in Step [3] to phenol and HCI.

In a covalent bond between two atoms, the more electronegative atom will attract more electron density toward itself, causing a polar bond. The more electronegative element is the negative pole, whereas the less electronegative element is the positive pole. The direction of the dipole is always toward the more electronegative element. This is often inflicated by an arrow, as shown in the figure. (Figure 1) The magnitude of the bond polarity is the difference in electronegativity values of the atoms. For example, in the molecule Cl2, the CICI bond is nonpolar because there is no difference in electronegativity between two atoms of the same element. In the CIBr molecule, However, the C1 Br bond is polar because Cl and Br have different electroneaativitv values. A CI I bond would be more polar than a C1 Br bond because there is a greater electronegativity difference between Cland I than between CI and Br.
