What are covalent bonds?

Back

Covalent bonds are chemical bonds formed between two or more nonmetals through the sharing of electrons.

What is a polar covalent bond?

Back

A polar covalent bond is a type of bond where electrons are shared unequally between two atoms.

Front

What is a single bond?

Back

A single bond is a chemical bond formed when two atoms share one pair of electrons.

What is an ionic bond?

Back

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that occurs between a metal and a nonmetal, where electrons are transferred from one atom to another.

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.

What is a diatomic element?

Back

A diatomic element is a molecule composed of two atoms of the same element, such as Cl2 (chlorine gas).

What is the difference between a polar covalent bond and a nonpolar covalent bond?

Back

A polar covalent bond involves unequal sharing of electrons, while a nonpolar covalent bond involves equal sharing of electrons.

Front

What is a double bond?

Back

A double bond is a chemical bond where two pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms.
