Front

What is a covalent bond?

Back

A covalent bond is a chemical bond formed by the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.

Front

Explain the concept of electronegativity.

Back

Electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract and hold onto electrons.

Front

What is the difference between polar and nonpolar molecules?

Back

Polar molecules have a net dipole moment due to unequal sharing of electrons, while nonpolar molecules have no net dipole moment.

Front

What is a dipole-dipole interaction?

Back

A dipole-dipole interaction is an attractive force between the positive end of one polar molecule and the negative end of another.
