A student claims that electronegativity is not related to the concept of polarity. Use water as an example to provide
reasoning to refute the student's claim.
PLEASE HELP!

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

Polarity of a molecule is the function of the difference between the electric charges of two atoms that make up the molecule. This polar nature is greatly influenced by the ELECTRONEGATIVITY, which is the ability to attract electrons, of the atoms involved. For example, using water molecule, H2O, as a case study.

Water is known to be a highly polar molecule due to the electronegativity values of the atoms that make up its molecule. Oxygen atom is a more electronegative atom than hydrogen, hence, it pulls more electrons towards itself, leaving the hydrogen atom more electropositive. This forms the difference in the electrostatic force between oxygen and hydrogen, making water POLAR.

HENCE, the student is wrong to have said electronegativity is not related to the concept of polarity.
