Like hydrogen fluoride (HF), water (H2O) is a polar covalent molecule.

The electron pair in a non-polar covalent bond is shared equally by the two bonded atoms, but in a polar covalent bond, the electron pair is shared unequally by the two bonded atoms. Differences in electronegativity are what lead to polar bonding.

The entire transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms is referred to as an ionic bond. It is a kind of chemical connection that produces two ions with opposing charges. In ionic bonding, the nonmetal takes the lost electrons to form a negatively charged anion while the metal loses them to become a positively charged cation.

Electrons are charged particles. Moving charged particles are a current. There is a current of electrons flowing through a coppe

Naddik [55]

Answer:

As the electrons flow through the wire, <em>electric current </em>is generated around the wire.

Explanation:

The rate of flow of charged particles in a given time is termed as the flow of current. Mostly the charge carriers are termed as electrons in a conductor. So the flow of electrons or movement of charged particles in a given time is the generation of electric current in that current. As the ratio of charge to time at which the charge is moving from one point to another is termed as the current flow in that time.

$Current=\frac{Charge}{Time}$

Thus, in the present case of electrons flowing in that wire will lead to generating of electric current in the opposite direction around the wire.
