Problem
Using the following electrostatic map, the polarity of this bond can be described as ____ and relative to the colors, ____.
Step-by-step solution
The electrostatic map shows uneven electron distribution, indicating a polar bond. The colors represent electron density, with red indicating higher density and blue indicating lower density. Therefore, electron density is pulled towards the more electronegative atom.
Answer
polar, electron density is pulled towards the more electronegative atom
