ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2

A polar bond means that the electron pair forming the covalent bond is not equally shared by the two atoms forming the bond. The magnitude of the difference in electronegativity of the bonding atoms determines the extent of polarity of a covalent bond. Greater the difference in electronegativity, more polar will be the bond.
