Front

What are polar covalent bonds?

Back

Bonds formed when electrons are shared unevenly.

Front

What are nonpolar covalent bonds?

Back

Bonds formed when electrons are shared evenly.

Front

What are ionic bonds?

Back

Bonds formed when electrons are lost or gained.

Front

What type of bond is formed when two atoms share electrons equally?

Back

Nonpolar covalent bond.

Front

What type of bond is formed when electrons are transferred from one atom to another?

Back

Ionic bond.

Front

What is the characteristic of polar molecules?

Back

They have a partial positive charge on one end and a partial negative charge on the other.

Front

What is the result of a nonpolar covalent bond?

Back

The molecule is neutral with no charge or attraction.

Front

How do polar covalent bonds affect the properties of water?

Back

They create a polar molecule, allowing for hydrogen bonding and unique properties like high surface tension.

Front

What is electronegativity?

Back

The ability of an atom to attract electrons in a bond.

Front

What happens to the charge of an atom when it loses an electron?

Back
