Types of Chemical Bonds Crash Course 22

Front

What type of ions are commonly formed from halogens?

Back

Negative ions (anions) are commonly formed from halogens.

Front

When electrons are evenly shared between two identical atoms, what type of bond forms?

Back

A nonpolar covalent bond forms when electrons are evenly shared between two identical atoms.

Front

What is the solubility of ionic compounds in water?

Back

Ionic compounds are generally soluble in water due to their interaction with water molecules.

Front

What are the connections between chemicals called?

Back

The connections between chemicals are called bonds.

Front

What type of bond is formed when the difference in electronegativities is tiny?

Back

A nonpolar covalent bond is formed when the difference in electronegativities is tiny.

Front

What is an ionic bond?

Back

An ionic bond is formed when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of positive and negative ions.

Front

What is a polar covalent bond?

Back

A polar covalent bond is formed when electrons are shared unequally between two atoms, resulting in partial positive and negative charges.

Front

What is electronegativity?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between cations and anions?

Back

Cations are positively charged ions, while anions are negatively charged ions.

Front

What is a hydrogen bond?

Back

A hydrogen bond is a weak attraction between a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to an electronegative atom and another electronegative atom.
