5.2 study guide

Question 1

what happens with electrons during ionic bonds

Answer 1

the negative ion will take an electron from the positive ion and bind together

Question 2

what happens with electrons during polar covalent bonds

Answer 2

the electrons are attracted to each other and fight over the electrons

Question 3

what happens with electrons during nonpolar covalent bonds

Answer 3

the electrons react similarly to a polar bond but slightly different

Question 4

Differentiate between a polar and nonpolar covalent bond

Answer 4

Nonpolar bonds are when two atoms share a pair of electrons where as polar bonds is when a pair of electrons are unequally shared

Question 5

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

Answer 5

if the atoms are both non metal then they will form a covalent bond but if the atoms are different then they will form a ionic bond

Question 6

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

Answer 6

it determine what type of bond the two atoms will form because of the amount of electrons in an atom
