2.3 chemical bonds

Question 1

What does bonding do?

Answer 1

provides stability in the atom.

Question 2

what does a polar covalent bond do?

Answer 2

Bonding electrons shared unequally.

Question 3

What does a non-polar covalent bond do?

Answer 3

Bonding electrons shared equally.

Question 4

What does an ionic bond do?

Answer 4

Too far apart to bond.

Question 5

What will a covalent bond and ionic bond do in water?

Answer 5

covalent bonds stay together while ionic bonds separate.

Question 6

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

Answer 6

Polar bonds are unequal while non-polar bonds are equal.

Question 7

When given two atoms, what type of bond will form between them and why?

Answer 7

Ionic bonding occurs when two atoms transfer electrons from one atom to the other, resulting in the formation of ions. Ionic bonds are typically formed between a metal and a nonmetal. Covalent bonding occurs when two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons. Covalent bonds are typically formed between two nonmetals.

Question 8

Explain how electronegativity determines what type of bond two atoms will form.

Answer 8

Large differences in electronegativity result in ionic bonds, while smaller differences result in covalent bonds.

Question 9

Which element has stronger electronegativity? Cl or Br

Answer 9

Cl

Question 10

Which element has stronger electronegativity? F or O

Answer 10

F
