What is a covalent bond
a bond where atoms share elections with similar electronegativity
What are the types of covalent bonds?
- polar unequal sharing with 2 atoms of different negativities
- non polar equal sharing with similar electric negativities
Hydrogen bonds occur between what elements
H with NOF
What is an ionic bond
one electron transfers to another atom of different electro negativities
water has a high or low heat capacity?
high because it takes a lot of energy for it to change the temperature
cohesion is _____ & is due to
why water is attracted to like substances & is due to hydrogen bonds
adhesion is
why water is attracted to unlike substances and is due to capillary action

difference between saturated and unsaturated fat
- saturated ( they have no double bond and stack causing plaque so bad for your health cause)
- unsaturated (they have a double bond don’t stack so good for your health)
