Chapter 1.5, Problem 17ATS

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Polar covalent bonds in epichlorohydrin indicating ${\delta }^{+}$ and ${\delta }^{-}$ symbol have to be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

A polar covalent bond is the unequal sharing of electrons between two atoms.

In polar covalent bond, one atom has a partial negative charge and the other atom has a partial positive charge

More electronegative atom will pull the electrons harder and acquire a slight negative charge and is denoted by $\left({\delta }^{-}\right)$

Less electronegative atom will pull the electrons less and acquire a slight positive charge and is denoted by $\left({\delta }^{+}\right)$
