2.3 Study Guide

Question 1

Low Level- What happens with electrons during ionic bonds?

Answer 1

Bonding between atoms with a large difference in EN

Question 2

Low Level- What happens with electrons during polar covalent?

Answer 2

Bonding of electrons shared unequally between 2 atoms

Question 3

Low Level - What happens with electrons during nonpolar covalent bonds?

Answer 3

Bonding of electrons shared equally between 2 atoms

Question 4

Medium- Differentiate between a polar and nonpolar covalent bond

Answer 4

Nonpolar covalent bond is when the electrons are shared equally and polar covalent bonds are electrons getting shared unequally.

Question 5

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

Answer 5

A covalent bond will form between them because it’s the sharing of electrons.

Question 6

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