Atoms with high electronegativities hold on to their electrons loosely.

Atoms with low electronegativities hold on tightly to their electrons.

When different atoms SHARE electrons the bond that is formed in called a(n) _________________ bond.

When different atoms LOSE/TRANSFER electrons to another atom, the bond that is formed in called a(n) _________________ bond.

Metals with similar low electronegativities with electrons that flow freely between atoms are known as ______________________ bonds

Molecules made of two atoms, whether of the same element or different elements, are called _______________________ molecules.

_________________ elements are found in nature as diatomic molecules.

A chemical bond between two nonmetals with similar electronegativity would likely be a(n) _______________ bond.

A double covalent bond is weaker than a single bond.

Covalent bonds always involve pairs of electrons.
