polar non polar electronegativity classification

Front

What is electronegativity?

Back

Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons.

Front

What type of bond is formed when there is a large difference in electronegativity between two atoms?

Back

Ionic bond.

Front

What type of bond is formed when there is a moderate difference in electronegativity?

Back

Polar covalent bond.

Front

What type of bond is formed when there is little to no difference in electronegativity?

Back

Nonpolar covalent bond.

Front

What is a polar covalent bond?

Back

A polar covalent bond is a type of bond where electrons are shared unequally between two atoms, resulting in slight electrical charges.

Front

What is a nonpolar covalent bond?

Back

A nonpolar covalent bond is a type of bond where electrons are shared equally between two atoms, resulting in no electrical charge.

Front

What is an ionic bond?

Back

An ionic bond is formed when one atom donates an electron to another atom, resulting in the formation of charged ions.

Front

Give an example of a molecule with a polar covalent bond.

Back

Hydrogen chloride (HCl) is an example of a molecule with a polar covalent bond.

Front

Give an example of a molecule with a nonpolar covalent bond.

Back

Bromine (Br2) is an example of a molecule with a nonpolar covalent bond.

Front

What is the significance of electronegativity in determining bond type?

Back

Electronegativity helps predict whether a bond will be ionic, polar covalent, or nonpolar covalent based on the difference in electronegativity values.
