<strong>Heteronuclear</strong> diatomic moleculesA heteronuclear diatomic molecule is a diatomicmolecule formed from atoms of twodifferent elementsCO HCl<strong>The</strong> electron distribution in a covalentbond between the atoms is not evenly sharedBecause it is energetically favorable for the electron pair tobe closer to one atom than the other<strong>The</strong> imbalance results in a polar covalent bondin which the electron pair is hared unequally by theatoms<strong>The</strong> bond in HF, for instance, is polar , with the electronpair closer to F.+ δ −δH−FHF
