What is meant by the polarization of a covalent bond?

Polarization refers to the degree that one atom in a bonding pair might “hoard” the electrons. Recall that a covalent single bond is defined as the sharing of 2 electrons between two atoms. read more

Polarization refers to the degree that one atom in a bonding pair might “hoard” the electrons. Recall that a covalent single bond is defined as the sharing of 2 electrons between two atoms. A bond is said to be polar when one atom in the bond pair holds onto the electrons more tightly than the other atom. read more

The term polarization means the bond formation between two polar atoms. For example : when a hydrogen atom combined with a chlorine atom the polar chlorine atom makes the non polar hydrogen atom into polar molecule under dipole-induced forces. This combination is known as polarization. read more
