A

Ionic

34
Q

Elements with more empty/half-empty orbitals will form ____ bonds

A

Covalent

35
Q

Describe an ionic bond

A

when outer electrons are transferred between atoms and form + or - charged ions

36
Q

Describe covalent bond

A

When 2 atoms share one or more pairs of electrons

37
Q

What is the difference between a polar and non-polar covalent bond?

A

polar is the unequal sharing of electrons.

Non polar is the equal sharing of electrons.
