Front

Define a covalent bond.

Back

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

Front

What is electronegativity?

Back

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

Front

What is a polar covalent bond?

Back

A polar covalent bond is a type of bond that occurs when two atoms share electrons unequally.

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 molecule?

Back

A molecule is a group of two or more atoms bonded together by covalent bonds.
