Front

What is the main characteristic of covalent bonds?

Back

Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.

Front

What is electronegativity?

Back

Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract electrons in a bond.

Front

What is the difference between polar and non-polar covalent bonds?

Back

Polar covalent bonds have unequal sharing of electrons, while non-polar covalent bonds have equal sharing.

Front

What is a molecule?

Back

A molecule is a group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound.

Front

What is the significance of resonance in covalent compounds?

Back

Resonance describes the delocalization of electrons in molecules that can be represented by two or more valid structures.
