Question 1

ionic bonds form as a result of the electrostatic attraction between

Answer 1

ions

Question 2

a single covalent bond involves the sharing of

Answer 2

two electrons

Question 3

the measure of an atom’s ability to attract electrons is its

Answer 3

electronegativity

Question 4

atoms that are bonded with an electronegativity difference of 0 to .3 are generally considered to be

Answer 4

non polar covalent compounds

Question 5

atoms seldom exist as independent particles in nature because

Answer 5

atoms are more stale when they combine with other atoms

Question 6

when an atom completely gives up its valence electrons to another atom, they from a bond that is considered to be

Answer 6

purely ionic

Question 7

you can estimate the degree to which a bond between two atoms is ionic or covalent by calculating the

Answer 7

difference in the atom’s electronegativities

Question 8

a mutual electrical attraction between the nuclei and valence electrons of different atoms that binds the atoms together

Answer 8

chemical bond

Question 9

chemical bonding that results from the electrical attraction between cations and anions is

Answer 9

ionic bonding

Question 10

results from the sharing of electron pairs between two atoms

Answer 10

covalent bonding

Question 11

a covalent bond in which the bonding electrons are shared equally be the bonded atoms

Answer 11

non polar covalent bond

Question 12

a covalent bond in which the bonded atoms have an unequal attraction for the shared electrons

Answer 12

polar covalent bond
