Q

Forming ions

A

electrons transferred from one atom to another, resulting in + or - charged ions

20
Q

Ionic bonding

A

attraction between opposite fully charged ions is an ionic bond

21
Q

Covalent bonds

A

pair of electrons shared by 2 atoms

22
Q

Molecule

A

2 or more atoms joined by covalent bonds

23
Q

Polar Covalent bond

A

electrons not shared equally, so partial charges exist

24
Q

Nonpolar Covalent bond

A

electrons shared equally

25
Polarity
polar molecules possess regions of positive and negative charge Polar- unevenly distributed charge. Non-polar- charge is evenly distributed
26
Hydrogen Bonds
Formed between polar covalent molecules; attraction between opposite partially charged groups.
27

Cohesion
adheres to self
29
Adhesion
adheres to other polar things
