    Each atom has a different ability to draw

    electrons to itself when it shares electrons (that drawing ability is

    called Electronegativity).

    A polar covalent means that an atom is electronegative, and the electrons are shared, but not equally.

    So, if a bond between two atoms share electrons equally, then it is nonpolar and not electronegative.

    If a bond between two atoms aren't shared equally, then it is polar and electronegative. Ex.) A polar molecule is water.
