Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In a covalent molecule, the atom(s) that tend to retain electrons and thus possess a partial negative charge
A
Electronegative
B
Electropositive
C
Radioactive Isotope
D
Polar covalent bond
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Electronegativity determines how the shared electrons are distributed between the two atoms in a polar covalent bond. The more strongly an atom attracts the electrons in its bonds, the larger its electronegativity.

Detailed explanation-2: -Covalent molecules with this type of uneven charge distribution are polar. Molecules with polar covalent bonds have a positive and negative side.
