When two atoms with different electronegativities are bonded together, a bond ______ exists. These are displayed with an arrow originating at the atom with the ____ electronegativity and pointing toward the atom with the __ electronegativity

Partial charges will exist on each atom when a bond exists between two atoms with different electronegativities. Since the atom with a higher electronegativity will have a stronger ability to attract electrons, it will have a partial __ charge. The atom with a lower electronegativity will have an equal and opposite __ charge. As the difference in electrongetivity increases, the resulting magnitudes of the partial charges will __

Bond character is used to describe the severity of the electronegativity differences between the two atoms involved in a bond. Bond that have ___ character corresponds to a larger difference in electronegativities, and __ bond character corresponds to a smaller difference.

For example, increasing the electrongativity of atom "A" in the PhET simulation and decreasing the electronnegativity of atom "B" will result in a bond that is ___ ionic in character.
