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: -In a diatomic molecule with two identical atoms, there is no difference in electronegativity, so the bond is nonpolar or pure covalent. When the electronegativity difference is very large, as is the case between metals and nonmetals, the bonding is characterized as ionic.

Detailed explanation-3: -This unequal distribution of electrons is known as a polar covalent bond, characterized by a partial positive charge on one atom and a partial negative charge on the other. The atom that attracts the electrons more strongly acquires the partial negative charge and vice versa.
