HOW DOES POLARITY OF BONDS WORK?
The polarity of molecules is determined by the two factors: the
polarity of bonds based on the electronegativity difference of
the atoms involved and the geometrical shape of the
molecules which can be predicted via valence shell electron
pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory.
Electronegativity (EN) measures the relative tendency of an atom to
attract electrons to itself when chemically combined with other atoms.
A = central atom
X = connecting atom
E = lone or excess pair
