Chapter 4, Problem 4.64E
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The charge distribution in the CO molecule is to be shown. Whether the molecule is polar or not is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Electronegativity is defined as the tendency of an atom to attract electrons towards it. Polarized bonds are a result of the electronegativity difference between bonding atoms. If the electronegativity difference is 0, the bond is known as nonpolar covalent bond, if it’s between 0 to 2.1, the bond is known as polar covalent bond and if it is more than 2.1, the bond is known as ionic bond. The more electronegative atom acquires partial negative charge and the less electronegative atom acquires partial positive charge while showing charge distribution.
