electronegativity
A measure of how much an atomic nucleus attracts the shared electrons that are involved in a covalent bond.
Pauling scale
The scale on which electronegativity is measured, ranging from 0.0 to 4.0 Pauling units.
non-polar bonds
A covalent bond formed between two atoms with equal electronegativity values which results in equal sharing of the electrons in their bond.
polar bond
when there is difference in electronegativity that causes asymmetrical electron distribution, creating a partially positive end and a partially negative end. typically a difference of 0.4–1.7
dipole
The two separated opposite electric charges, δ+ and δ-, existing in a polar bond.
