What is bond length
The distance between two bonded atoms at their minimum potential energy
What is bond angle

What is hydrogen bond
The intermolecular force occurring when a hydrogen atom that is bonded to a highly electronegative atom of one molecule is attracted to two unshared electrons of another molecule
What is ionic bond
A bond formed by the attractive between oppositely charged ions
What is metallic bond

What is polar covalent bond
An unequal sharing of electrons forms
What is empirical formula
The composition of a compound in terms of the relative numbers and kinds of atoms in the simplest ratio
What is molecular formula
