Chapter 2 chemistry essay

Question 1

Three types of bonds

Answer 1

1. Covalent
2. Ionic
3. Weak chemical bonds

Question 2

Covalent bond types and explain

Answer 2

nonpolar: equal sharing of valence electrons
polar: unequal sharing of electrons

Question 3

What happens in a polar covalent bond

Answer 3

There is electronegativity, or the measure of the tendancy of an atom to attract an electron

Question 4

What is an ionic bond

Answer 4

one atom strips another of valence electrons

Question 5

What is created through ionic bonds

Answer 5

Cations: negatively charged atoms
Anoins: positively charged atoms
Salts: ionic compond that results from acid base neautralization reaction

Question 6

Types of weak chemical bonds and define

Answer 6

Hydrogen bonds: when one atom already bonded to an electronegative atom is attracted to another electrongeative atom

Van de waals interactions: molecules and atoms in close proximity can be attracted by fleeting charge difference
