Electronegativity Differences, Bond Character and Polarity

The relative tendency of an atom to attract electrons to itself when it is bonded to another atom is _____

• ionization energy

• electronegativity

• electron affinity

• electromotive force

What type of bond is formed as a result of the transfer of electrons?

• covalent

• metallic

• ionic

• intermolecular

When a bond is formed by two atoms sharing electrons it is called a ______________ bond
