Question

When two atoms with different electronegativities are bonded together, a bond_ exists. These are displayed with an arrow originating at the atom with the_ electronegativity and pointing toward the atom with the_ electronegativity. Partial charges will exist on each atom when a bond exists between two atoms with different electronegativities. Since the atom with a higher electronegativity will have a stronger ability to attract electrons, it will have a partial_ charge. The atom with a lower electronegativity will have an equal and opposite_ charge. As the difference in electronegativity increases, the resulting magnitudes of the partial charges will_. Bond character is used to describe the severity of the electronegativity differences between the two atoms involved in a bond. Bonds that have character correspond to a larger difference in electronegativities, and bond character corresponds to a smaller difference. For example, increasing the electronegativity of atom "A" in the PhET simulation and decreasing the electronegativity of atom "B" will result in a bond that is_ ionic in character.
