Chapter 2 Water: The Solvent for Biochemical Reactions POLARITY ● Electronegativity = the tendency of an atom to attract electrons to itself (and become negatively charged)in a chemical bond ● Polar bond = the unequal sharing of electrons between two atoms of different electronegativities ○ Part ial negative charge δ‐)foundon the most electronegative atom ■ Shared electrons more likely to be found at this end of the bond ○ Pa rtial positive charge (δ+)found on the east electronegative atom ○ Covalent (share electrons) ● Dipole = a bond with a positive and a negative end ○ One
