c. Have an overall positive charge
d. Have slight positive and negative ends

Respuesta :

Answer: a. Have an overall neutral charge

b. Have electrons that are not equally shared

d. Have slight positive and negative ends

Explanation:

Electronegativity is defined as the property of an element to attract a shared pair of electron towards itself.

A polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is a difference of electronegativities between the atoms. Example: [tex]HCl[/tex]

The more electronegative element i.e. chlorine acquires a partial negative charge as it withdraws the electron density towards itself. Thus hydrogen acquires a partial positive charge. The opposite charges cancel each other and thus overall it is electrically neutral.
