An independent world of physical-equipment-oriented technology is developed, implemented and supported separately from the IT groups. For simplicity, Gartner refers to physical-equipment-oriented technology as operational technology (OT).
Oxygen Nitrogen Carbon Hydrogen Which atom in the pictured molecule will have the strongest partial positive charge? The carbon that's in C=O Dr. Haxton says the O-O bond is polar and the C-C bond is nonpolar. A good student would say what? Wrong again. Both bonds are nonpolar.
The presence of appreciable electronegativity favors ionic bond formation. The simplest way to determine which of the ionic bonds are strongest is to examine the electronegativities of the anion (the negative portion of a compound) and its cation (the positive portion of the compound). Linus Pauling developed a list of numbers that quantified the property of electronegativity.
