What is a polar bond?

Answer by  ChemDoc (154)

A specific sub-type of covalent bond in which the bonding electrons between atoms are shared UNEQUALLY. This can only be the case when two atoms are non-equivalent in electronegativity, which governs how "electrophilic" (electron-loving) an atom is. Halogens such as Fluorine are high electronegative, and metalloids such as silicon are not. Ergo, a flourine-silicon bond would be highly polar.

A polar bond is a type of bond wherein the electrons involved in the bond are shared unevenly between the two molecules, causing a dipole moment.

A polar bond is one that formes between atoms or molecules due to the electric density and electrostatic charge of them, they have a negative or positive electronic density and they attract because of this.
