Chemical Bonding Accelerated

Front

What is covalent bonding?

Back

Covalent bonding is a type of chemical bond where two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons, typically occurring between nonmetals.

Front

Which compound is formed by covalent bonding?

Back

CO₂ (carbon dioxide) is formed by covalent bonding.

Front

What type of bonding is present in water?

Back

Water (H₂O) has covalent bonding.

Front

How can the polarity of a bond be determined?

Back

The polarity of a bond can be determined by the difference in electronegativity between the two elements involved.

Front

What type of compound is formed between two nonmetals?

Back

A compound formed between two nonmetals is typically covalent.

Front

What is electronegativity?

Back

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

Front

What is a polar molecule?

Back

A polar molecule has a partial positive charge on one end and a partial negative charge on the other end due to unequal sharing of electrons.

Front

What is a non-polar molecule?

Back

A non-polar molecule has an even distribution of electrical charge, meaning there are no distinct positive or negative ends.

Front

What is ionic bonding?

Back

Ionic bonding is a type of chemical bond that occurs when one atom transfers electrons to another atom, resulting in the formation of charged ions.

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.
