True or False: A covalent bond must satisfy the octet rule.
True
26
What is resonance?
Resonance means that there is more than one possible bond structure.
27
How can there be resonance?
There can be resonance if a double or triple bond can be moved to another place, without interfering with the structure.

What is the structure of a hydrate?
_ _ • _ H20
48
What is electronegativity?
Electronegativity is the ability to attract electrons.
49
Why does electronegativity (EN) increase?
