worthy-an important, honorable person (word is often used humorously); he told his story to some conservative worthies; local worthies rarely challenged the chief constable. important person, influential person, personage-a person whose actions and opinions strongly influence the course of events.
Electronegativity Difference and Bond Character Covalent bond - a shared pair of electrons between two atoms Electronegativity - the ability of an atom to attract electrons in a covalent bond. Electronegativity Difference, E, E = E1-E2, For example, each HââO bond in H2O has: E = EO - EH E = 3.44 - 2.10 E = 1.44. As the electronegativity difference grows from 0.00 to >3.00, the sharing of electrons becomes more skewed. First one atom becomes partially negative, -, while the other becomes partially positive, +, and the bond is polarized, a polar covalent bond.
Remember the electronegativity ranges, so you'll be able to predict the types of bonds in a compound: 1  nonpolar covalent bond - The electronegativity difference is less than 0.4. 2  polar covalent bond - The electronegativity difference is between 0.4 and 1.7.
