Covalent Bonds

What is an Ionic Bond?

• A chemical bond formed by electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions after a complete transfer of electrons between atoms.

• A bond formed by the sharing of electrons between two atoms.

• A weak attraction between molecules due to temporary dipoles.

• A bond that occurs only in metals.

What is an Electron Dot Structure?

• A diagram showing the valence electrons of atoms in a molecule, representing both bonding pairs and lone pairs of electrons.

• A method to calculate the molecular weight of a compound.

• A graphical representation of the atomic mass of an element.

• A technique used to determine the boiling point of a substance.

What is the Octet Rule?

• A guideline stating atoms tend to bond to achieve eight electrons in their outermost energy level for stability.

• A principle that states all atoms must have a full outer shell of electrons regardless of the number.

• A rule that indicates atoms can only bond with other atoms of the same element.

• A theory that suggests atoms will always lose electrons to achieve stability.

What is a Bonding Pair?

• A pair of electrons that is shared between two atoms, forming a covalent bond that holds the atoms together.

• A pair of electrons that are transferred from one atom to another, creating ionic bonds.

• A single electron that orbits around a nucleus, contributing to the atom's mass.

• A pair of protons that are shared between two atoms, forming a nuclear bond.

What is a Single Covalent Bond?

• A bond formed by the sharing of one pair of electrons between two atoms in a molecule.

• A bond formed by the complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another.

• A bond that involves the sharing of three pairs of electrons between two atoms.

• A bond that occurs between two metal atoms in a compound.

What is a molecule?

• A neutral group of atoms held together by one or more covalent bonds, forming the smallest unit of a substance.

• A charged particle that has gained or lost one or more electrons.

• A large group of atoms that are not chemically bonded together.

• A type of chemical reaction that involves the breaking and forming of bonds.

What is a Coordinate Covalent Bond?

• A type of bond where two atoms share one pair of electrons, with each atom contributing one electron.

• A type of covalent bond where one atom contributes both bonding electrons to the shared pair between two atoms.

• A bond formed by the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.

• A type of bond that involves the transfer of electrons from one atom to another.

What is Molecular Geometry?

• The two-dimensional arrangement of atoms within a molecule.

• The three-dimensional arrangement of atoms within a molecule, which is a key determinant of its physical and chemical properties.

• The process of breaking down molecules into smaller components.

• The study of the chemical reactions between different molecules.

What is a Double Covalent Bond?

• A bond formed by the sharing of one pair of electrons between two atoms.

• A bond formed by the sharing of two pairs of electrons between two atoms, stronger than a single bond.

• A bond formed by the complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another.

• A bond that occurs between two identical atoms only.

What is a Polar Covalent Bond?

• A covalent bond where electrons are shared equally between two atoms.

• A covalent bond where bonding electrons are shared unequally between two atoms due to a significant difference in electronegativity.

• A bond formed between two metals that share electrons equally.

• A bond that occurs when one atom completely transfers electrons to another atom.
