what type of chemical bond involves oppositely charged atoms (ions)
ionic bond
what type of chemical bond involves electrons being shared between 2 atoms?
covalent bond
what type of chemical bond contains energy for life and doesn’t dissolve in water and holds monomers together in macromolecules?
covalent bond
what is a polar molecule? how are electrons shared in polar covalent bonds?
A molecule where there is an unequal sharing of an electron pain, Larger atoms with larger nuclei will pull the electrons closer making the atom slightly negative while the smaller atom will be slightly positive.
product vs reactants
product is what’s made after the reactants react
what is activation energy?
energy needed for a reaction
