Front

Define a covalent bond.

Back

A covalent bond is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.

Front

Define an ionic bond.

Back

An ionic bond is a chemical bond formed through the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.

Front

What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonds?

Back

Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons.

Front

What is a polar covalent bond?

Back

A polar covalent bond is a type of covalent bond where the electrons are not shared equally between the two atoms.

Front

What is the significance of electronegativity in bond formation?

Back

Electronegativity determines how strongly an atom attracts electrons, influencing whether a bond will be ionic or covalent.
