1
Q
what happens to the electrons during ionic bonds?
A
The electrons are producing negative ions.
2
Q
what happens to the electrons during polar covalent bonds?
A
the electrons get shared unequally
3
Q
what happens to the electrons during non-polar covalent bonds?
A
The electrons are getting shared equally.
4
Q
What is the measure of how strongly atoms attract new bonding electrons to themselves?
A

5
Q

A
4
6

A
Polar covalent bonds result when electrons are unequally shared between atoms, while non-polar covalent bonds result when electrons are more equally shared between atoms.
