Front

Define covalent bond.

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between a single bond and a double bond?

Back

A single bond involves one pair of shared electrons, while a double bond involves two pairs of shared electrons.

Front

What is the VSEPR theory?

Back

Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory predicts the shape of molecules based on the repulsion between electron pairs.

Front

What is a polar covalent bond?

Back

A polar covalent bond is a type of bond where electrons are not shared equally between atoms, resulting in partial charges.

Front

What is the significance of electronegativity in covalent bonding?

Back

Electronegativity determines how strongly an atom attracts shared electrons, influencing bond polarity.
