#"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#,
