Expert Answer:
- Covalent compounds are said to be polar when shared pair of electrons are unequally distributed between the two atoms.
- In polar covalent compounds charge separation takes place and the atom which attracts electrons more strongly develops a slight negative charge.
Examples: H2O, NH3, HCl, SO2 , H2S
