What is partial -ve & +ve

Open in App
Solution

The covalent bond between two atoms with different electronegative results in unequal sharing of electrons. This unequal sharing of electrons leads to partially positive and partially negative charges on the opposite ends of the bond.
For example, as shown in the above image. Here, the oxygen atom has a partial negative charge and carbon atom has a partial positive charge.
