Polar Covalent Bonds

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 slight charge.

Front

What is a non-polar covalent bond?

Back

A type of bond where electrons are shared equally between two atoms, resulting in no charge difference.

Front

How do covalent bonds form?

Back

Covalent bonds form by sharing valence electrons between atoms.

Front

What is the difference between polar and non-polar covalent bonds?

Back

Polar covalent bonds share electrons unequally, while non-polar covalent bonds share electrons equally.

Back

Polar covalent bond.

Front

Which bond shares electrons evenly?

Back

Non-polar covalent bond.

Front

What happens to the electrons in an ionic bond?

Back

Electrons are transferred from one atom to another.

Front

What is electronegativity?

Back

A measure of an atom's ability to attract and hold onto electrons.
