Lesson 4.16 Polarity, IMF and Review Practice

Front

What occurs when magnesium reacts with fluorine to form magnesium fluoride?

Back

Electrons are transferred and the bonding is ionic.

Front

Which type of bonding is present when valence electrons move within the sample?

Back

metallic bonding

Front

Which type of bond results when one or more valence electrons are transferred from one atom to another?

Back

an ionic bond

Front

Hydrogen bonding is a type of

Back

strong intermolecular force.

Front

Why is a C-O bond more polar than a F-O bond?

Back

The difference in electronegativity between carbon and oxygen is greater than that between fluorine and oxygen.

Front

Define ionic bonding.

Back

A type of chemical bonding that involves the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of charged ions.

Front

What is metallic bonding?

Back

A type of bonding that occurs in metals where valence electrons are shared and move freely among a lattice of metal cations.

Front

What is a polar covalent bond?

Back

A type of bond where electrons are shared unequally between two atoms, resulting in a molecule with a partial positive and negative charge.

Front

What is electronegativity?

Back

The tendency of an atom to attract electrons in a chemical bond.

Front

What is the difference between a strong and weak intermolecular force?

Back

Strong intermolecular forces result in higher boiling and melting points, while weak forces result in lower boiling and melting points.
