Question
Explain with the help of suitable example polar covalent bond.

Answer

When two atoms with different electronegativity are linked to each other by covalent bond, the shared electron pair will not in the centre because of the difference in electronegativity. For example, in hydrogen fluoride molecule, fluoride has greater electronegativity than hydrogen. Thus, the shared electron pair is displaced more towards’ fluorine atom, the later will acquire a partial negative charge $(\delta^+)$. At the same time hydrogen atom will have a partial positive charge $(\delta^-)$. Such a covalent bond is known as polar covalent bond or simply polar bond.
It is represented as $\ \ \ \delta^+\ \ \ \ \delta^-\\\ \ \text{H}\ -\ \text{F}\$2.1)\ (4.0)$

Three students, Manish, Ramesh and Rajni were determining the extra elements present in an organic compound given by their teacher. They prepared the Lassaigne’s extract (L.E.) independently by the fusion of the compound with sodium metal. Then they added solid FeSO4 and dilute sulphuric acid to a part of Lassaigne’s extract. Manish and Rajni obtained prussian blue colour but Ramesh got red colour. Ramesh repeated the test with the same Lassaigne’s extract, but again got red colour only. They were surprised and went to their teacher and told him about their observation. Teacher asked them to think over the reason for this. Can you help them by giving the reason for this observation. Also, write the chemical equations to explain the formation of compounds of different colours.
