2.2 Chemical Bonds

Question 1

a negative ion formed by gaining electrons

Answer 1

anion

Question 2

a positive ion formed by losing electrons

Answer 2

cation

Question 3

an interaction between two or more of the same or different elements that result
in the formation of molecules

Answer 3

chemical bond

Question 4

are made up of different types of atoms held together by chemical bonds

Answer 4

compound

Question 5

shows how many and which atoms make up a molecule

Answer 5

chemical formula

Question 6

occur when two or more atoms bond together to form molecules or when
bonded atoms break apart

Answer 6

chemical reactions

Question 7

a type of strong bond between two or more of the same or different elements;
forms when electrons are shared between elements

Answer 7

covalent bond

Question 8

an atom’s ability to attract a shared pair of electrons more closely to its own
nucleus

Answer 8

electronegativity

Question 9

the movement of electrons from one element to another

Answer 9

electron transfer

Question 10

a weak bond between partially positively charged hydrogen atoms and partially
negatively charged elements or molecules

Answer 10

hydrogen bond

Question 11

an atom or compound that does not contain equal numbers of protons and electrons, and
therefore has a net charge

Answer 11

ion

Question 12

a chemical bond that forms between ions of opposite charges

Answer 12

ionic bond

Question 13

a type of covalent bond that forms between atoms when electrons are
shared equally between atoms, resulting in no regions with partial charges as in polar covalent
bonds

Answer 13

nonpolar covalent bond

Question 14

a type of covalent bond in which electrons are pulled toward one atom and
away from another, resulting in slightly positive and slightly negative charged regions of the
molecule

Answer 14

polar covalent bond

Question 15

the substances that are formed at the end of a chemical reaction (usually on the right
side of a chemical equation

Answer 15

products
