Draw the Lewis structure of these compounds and use the electronegativity values, calculate the polarity of the molecules and write if the compounds will be polar, nonpolar, or ionic. Label the + and -next to the atoms of the molecule if they have charge. Also, write the overall dipole. HCN CH₂CHCl CH₃CH₃ CO₂
Types of Chemical Bonds
The attractive force which has the ability of holding various constituent elements like atoms, ions, molecules, etc. together in different chemical species is termed as a chemical bond. Chemical compounds are dependent on the strength of chemical bonds between its constituents. Stronger the chemical bond, more will be the stability in the chemical compounds. Hence, it can be said that bonding defines the stability of chemical compounds.
Polarizability In Organic Chemistry
Polarizability refers to the ability of an atom/molecule to distort the electron cloud of neighboring species towards itself and the process of distortion of electron cloud is known as polarization.
Coordinate Covalent Bonds
A coordinate covalent bond is also known as a dative bond, which is a type of covalent bond. It is formed between two atoms, where the two electrons required to form the bond come from the same atom resulting in a semi-polar bond. The study of coordinate covalent bond or dative bond is important to know about the special type of bonding that leads to different properties. Since covalent compounds are non-polar whereas coordinate bonds results always in polar compounds due to charge separation.

- CO₂
Different type of compounds have different bond types and different electron distributions between their constituent atoms . According to their different electronegative nature of atoms charge of some polar compounds can be shown by Delta + or Delta -, while for non polar Molecules,there is no charge distribution.
By help of electronegativity values we can know about the nature of bonds present in compound. If electronegativity difference is less than or equal to 0.4 ,then Molecule is non polar. If it's value more than 0.4 but less than 1.8 ,then Molecule is polar covalent. And if the value more than 1.8 ,then compound is ionic in nature.
