Define electronegativity.

Back

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

Front

What is a nonpolar covalent bond?

Back

A nonpolar covalent bond is a type of bond where two atoms share a pair of electrons with each other equally.

Front

What is a polar covalent bond?

Back

A polar covalent bond is a type of bond where two atoms share a pair of electrons unequally, resulting in a dipole moment.

What is the electronegativity difference that typically indicates an ionic bond?

Back

Typically, an electronegativity difference greater than 1.7 indicates an ionic bond.

Front

What is the electronegativity difference that typically indicates a polar covalent bond?

Back

Typically, an electronegativity difference between 0.4 and 1.7 indicates a polar covalent bond.
