Bonds

Question 1

What are ionic bonds?

Answer 1

When one atom transfers electrons to another atom to fill a valence shell “vacancy”

Question 2

What are ionic bonds results of?

Answer 2

Electrical attraction between two ions with opposite charges

Question 3

What are covalent bonds?

Answer 3

A bond when two atoms share electrons which travel around both nuclei

Question 4

What are polar covalent bonds?

Answer 4

Shared bond which electrons are more attracted to one atom’s nucleus more than the other’s

Question 5

When do polar covalent bonds form?

Answer 5

When highly electronegative atoms share electrons with a less electronegative partner.

Question 6

What are non-polar covalent bonds?

Answer 6

Bipartisan union in which atoms exert equal pull on their shared electrons

Question 7

What are hydrogen bonds?

Answer 7

Weak chemical bond between partial charges on two molecules or within one large molecule.
