Front

What is a covalent bond?

Back

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

Front

What is the octet rule?

Back

The octet rule states that atoms tend to bond in such a way that they have eight electrons in their valence shell, achieving a stable electron configuration.

Front

What is a polar covalent bond?

Back

A polar covalent bond is a type of bond where electrons are shared unequally between two atoms, resulting in a molecule with a slight electrical dipole moment.

Front

What is a nonpolar covalent bond?

Back

A nonpolar covalent bond is a type of bond where electrons are shared equally between two atoms, resulting in no charge separation.

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.
