Define polar covalent bond.

Back

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

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 charge separation.

Front

What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonds?

Back

Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons and the attraction between oppositely charged ions, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms.

What is the significance of electronegativity in bonding?

Back

Electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract electrons in a bond; it helps determine whether a bond will be ionic, polar covalent, or nonpolar covalent.

What is a metallic bond?

Back

A metallic bond is a type of bond found in metals, characterized by a 'sea of electrons' that are free to move, allowing for conductivity and malleability.
