Chemical bonds

What is chemical bonding?

• A neutral group of atoms that are held together by covalent bonds.

• A mutual electrical attraction between the nuclei and valence electrons of different atoms that bind the atoms together.

• The energy required to break a chemical bond and form neutral isolated atoms.

• The simplest collection of atoms from which an ionic compounds formula can be written.

Ionic bonding is ...

• a chemical bonding that results the electrical attraction between cations and anions.

• a group of atoms that are held together by covalent bonds.

• A compound composed of positive and negative ions that are combined so that the numbers of positive and negative charges are equal.

• The chemical bonding that results from the attraction between metal atoms and the surrounding sea of electrons.

Results from the sharing of electron pairs between two atoms is known as?

• Nonpolar covalent bonding

• Multiple bond

• Molecular compounding

• Covalent bonding

When can ionic bonds be formed?

• When there is a metal and a nonmetal

• When there are nonmetals

• When there are two solids

If in the process of ionic bonding, would Nitrogen be a cation or an anion?

• Cation

• Anion

Nonpolar-covalent bonding

• is a covalent bond in which the bonded atoms have an unequal attraction for the shared electrons.

• a covalent bond in which the bonding electrons are shared equally by the bonded atoms, resulting in a balanced distribution of electrical charge.

• bonding that results the electrical attraction between cations and anions.

• bonds with significantly different electronegativities, the electrons are more strongly attracted by the more-electronegative atom.

Polar bonding

• electrical attraction between the nuclei and valence electrons of different atoms that bind the atoms together.

• bond in which the bonding electrons are shared equally by the bonded atoms, resulting in a balanced distribution of electrical charge.

• a covalent bond in which the bonded atoms have an unequal attraction for the shared electrons.

• bonds with significantly different electronegativities, the electrons are more strongly attracted by the more-electronegative atom.

Polar-covalent bond

• bonding that results the electrical attraction between cations and anions.

• sharing of electron pairs between two atoms.

• bonding that results from the attraction between metal atoms and the surrounding sea of electrons.

• covalent bond in which the bonded atoms have an unequal attraction for the shared electrons.

A molecule is a neutral group of atoms that are held together bu covalent bonds.
