Polar+and+Non-Polar+Bonds

Why do white bears dissolve in water????? Because they are polar!!

A polar bond is one in which the electron is not being "shared" equally. Thus, creating a charge on the molecule. Polar == charge on the molcule Non-polar = perfect 50-50 sharing of the electron

Candy bar analogy:

You sit down to lunch and discover that your best friend has your favorite candy bar. Your friend cheerfully gives you the candy bar. **Ionic Bonding**

Your friend measures and cuts the candy bar so that each of you have exactly half of the candy bar. **Non-Polar Covalent Bonding**

Your friend breaks the candy bar into two pieces -- giving you the larger of the two pieces **Polar Covalent Bonding

Polar vs. Non-Polar**
