Q
What happens with electrons during ionic bonds
A
the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged
2

A
shifted toward the more electronegative atom
3
Q
What happens with electrons during covalent bonds
A
the electrons are shared equally
4
Q
Differentiate between a polar and nonpolar covalent bond
A
Nonpolar covalent bonds are a type of chemical bond where two atoms share a pair of electrons with each other. Polar covalent bonding is a type of chemical bond where a pair of electrons is unequally shared
