I don't understand what makes a covalent bond "polar." What exactly is polarity?

Say you have a bond A-B.

Even though in this bond each atom shares electrons, one might attract electrons more than another. If one atom, A for instance, attracts those electrons way better than B, then the bond will be polar, and the electronic cloud will be more important around A than around B, which gives chemical properties to the molecule.

What property of hydrocarbon molecules correlates to the viscosity of a particular fraction when it is cooled to room temperatur
lora16 [44]
Because of differences in molecular structure, the empirical formula remains different between hydrocarbons; in linear, or "straight-run" alkanes, alkenes and alkynes, the amount of bonded hydrogen lessens in alkenes and alkynes due to the "self-bonding" or catenation of carbon preventing entire saturation of the hydrocarbon by the formation of double or triple bonds. 

<span>This inherent ability of hydrocarbons to bond to themselves is referred to as catenation, and allows hydrocarbon to form more complex molecules, such as cyclohexane, and in rarer cases, arenes such as benzene. This ability comes from the fact that bond character between carbon atoms is entirely non-polar, in that the distribution of electrons between the two elements is somewhat even due to the same electronegativity values of the elements (~0.30), and does not result in the formation of an electrophile. 

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead!

Answer:

1st Question: A

2nd Question: B

Explanation:

The 1st answer would be A because if a sample is at absolute zero then the sample is at its lowest temperature none of the molecules would be able to move, this is because lower temperature= lower kinetic energy.

The 2nd answer would be B because if a sample has more temperature it speeds up it has more temperature and more kinetic energy, meaning it would move faster because there is more temperature.
