measure of how strongly atoms attract
4

A
Lose
5
Q
What are the three types of bonds?
A
Non-polar covalent, polar covalent, and ionic
6
Q
What is a non-polar bond?
A
Bonds that have equal electronegativity and equal pull on electron pair. They are overall neutral.
7
Q
What is a polar bond?
A
Bonding is shared unequally with both a positive and negative end.
8
Q
What is ionic bonding?
A
Electrons have a extreme difference in electronegativity and are on opposite sides of the periodic table. Causes a transfer in electrons.
