Bonding Miniquiz

Question 1

In ionic, which type of charge does what to which type of charge?

Answer 1

A positively charged ion donates to a negatively charged ion

Question 2

What does a non polar covalent bond look like?

Answer 2

There are no partial charges but you see charing of electrons (electrons between both atoms)

Question 3

What does a polar covalent bond look like?

Answer 3

Electrons are being shared, but not fairly. They should be pulled more towards the partial negative end, because that atom has stronger electronegativity

Question 4

How does ionic bonding work?

Answer 4

When atoms with an electrical charge (ions) have opposite charges and therefore are attracted to each other to result in an electrically neutral resulting compound

Question 5

What are the require,emts for an ionic bond?

Answer 5

Typically between a metal and a nonmetal, there is a transfer of electrons, not sharing

Question 6

How does covalent bonding work?

Answer 6

When 2 atoms share done or more pairs of outer shell electrons and thus form a molecule and/or compound, we say these atoms are held together by a covalent bons

Question 7

electronegativity

Answer 7

atoms that share electrons in covalent bonds are in a constant tug-of-war; electronegativity is an atom’s attraction for its electrons (including shared ones)
