Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When electrons are shared unequally, a polar covalent bond is formed. This is because one atom in the bond has a greater electronegativity and attracts the electrons more strongly, resulting in a partial positive charge on one atom and a partial negative charge on the other. This creates a dipole moment in the bond, making it polar.
