Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
To arrange the given covalent bonds within each set in the order of increasing polarity.
Concept Introduction:
When two atoms are bonded, because of the electronegativity difference between them, partial charge arises.
Thus, polarity results from the uneven partial charge difference. The difference in bonds collectively results in polarity of the molecule.
(b)
Interpretation:
To arrange the given covalent bonds within each set in the order of increasing polarity.
