Question

What does `"polarity"` describe?

Answer 1

`"Polarity"` describes separation of charge..........

Explanation:

However, in an ionic compound, charge separation has gone to the extreme, and we have DISCRETE CHARGED IONS. Thus polarity tends to describe polar, covalent bonds in molecular compounds such as `stackrel(delta+)H-stackrel(delta-)F`, `stackrel(delta+)H_2stackrel(delta-)O`, `stackrel(delta+)H_3stackrel(delta-)N`,
