Explain the difference in polarity between co2 and h2o by referring to the polarity of the bonds and the shape of the molecules

Respuesta :

Dansko
Both H2O and CO2 have polar covalent bondings (O is more electronegative than H or C) . The main molecular difference arises from their different geometry.

What is a Covalent bond?

A covalent bond, in chemistry, is the interatomic linkage that results from the sharing of an electron pair between two atoms. The binding arises from the electrostatic attraction of their nuclei for the same electrons.

A covalent bond forms when the bonded atoms have lower total energy than that of widely separated atoms.  Both H2O and CO2 have polar covalent bondings (O is more electronegative than H or C).
