4.3 Flashcards
Ionic Bonds
Two atoms where nonmetal gains electrons from a metal
Non-polar covalent bonds
Electrons shared equally in a covalent bond
Polar covalent bonds
Electrons shared unequally in a covalent bond
If there is a bond H to H what kind of bond would it be?
Non-polar Covalent
What’s the differences between covalent and ionic bonds
nonmetal and nonmetal vs. metal and nonmetal
Sharing vs. gaining/losing
If Hydrogen and oxygen are bonding together, what would it be and why?
covalent polar because there’s an uneven balance between the electronegativity
Why does bonding occur?
octet rule of being a stable atom
When electronegativity is equal
non-polar covalent bonds
Why do polar covalent bonds have electronegativity that’s unbalanced?
number of electrons + number of protons
