What type of bond does not normally conduct electricity?

Back

Covalent

Front

What information is helpful to determine if two atoms will bond?

Back

Valence electrons, whether the elements are metals or nonmetals, and the electronegativity of the atoms.

Front

What type of bond is formed between metals and nonmetals?

Back

Ionic bond.

Front

If electrons are shared unequally in a bond, what type of bond is it?

Back

Polar covalent bond.

Front

How many pairs of electrons are shared in a triple bond?

Back

Three pairs of electrons.

Front

What is the definition of a covalent bond?

Back

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

Front

What is an ionic bond?

Back

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that occurs when one atom transfers electrons to another atom, resulting in the formation of ions.

Front

What are valence electrons?

Back

Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom that are involved in forming bonds.

Front

What is electronegativity?

Back

Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons.

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, leading to a dipole moment.
