Bonds and Compounds

Question 1

Ionic Bonds

Answer 1

Metals transfer electrons to non-metals and the two form bonds due to the electrostatic attractions between them.
- Cations (metals) + Anions (non-metals)
- Anions receive electrons because they have greater electricity

Question 2

Covalent/Molecular Bonds

Answer 2

A non-metal shares one or more pairs of electrons with another non-metal; to get full octets.
- Similar electronegativity - sharing

Question 3

Non-polar Covalent Bonds

Answer 3

Both atoms have equal pull of electrons
- Diatomic
- C- H

Question 4

Polar Covalent Bonds

Answer 4

One side attracts electrons more than the other.
