Chemical Bonds

Question 0

What are the three types of chemical bonds?

Answer 0

Ionic bond, covalent bond, hydrogen bond

Question 1

What is a chemical bond?

Answer 1

Is the force of attraction the holds together the atoms of a molecule or a compound.

Question 2

Ionic bond

Answer 2

The force of attraction that holds together ions of opposite charges.

Question 3

Covalent bond

Answer 3

Is when two or more atoms share electrons rather than giving up or gaining.

Question 4

Hydrogen bond

Answer 4

Forms when a hydrogen atom with a partial positive charge attracts the partial negative charge of neighbouring electronegative atoms.

Question 5

What are the most common chemical bonds in the body?

Answer 5

Covalent bond

Question 6

Catalyst

Answer 6

Is a compound that speeds up chemical reactions by lowering a activation energy needed for a reaction to occur.

( does not alter the difference in potential energy between the reactants and the products. Rather it lowers the amount of energy needed to start the reaction)

Question 7

Cation

Answer 7

Is when the number of protons exceeds the number electrons

Question 8

Anion

Answer 8

When the number of electrons exceeds the number of protons

Question 9

What is the most common chemical bond in the body.

Answer 9

Covalent bond

Question 10

What is activation energy

Answer 10

The initial energy investment is needed to start a reaction.( reactants must absorb enough energy for their chemical bonds to become unstable and their valence electrons to form new combinations)
