Answers (1)

best_answer

A polar covalent bond, when two different atoms are linked to each other by covalent bond, then the shared electron pair will not be in the centre just because the bonding atoms differ in electronegativities.

For examples, in H_{2}O,

Here slightly positive charges are developed in hydrogen atoms and slightly negative charge developed in oxygen atom as oxygen is more electronegative than the hydrogen. Thus, opposite poles are developed in the molecule.

Hence the bond pair lies towards oxygen atom.
