chemical chapter 6 Flashcards
chemical bond
an attraction between nuclei and valence electrons
polar covalent bond
the unequal sharing of electrons
ionic bond
the transfer of electrons
nonpolar covalent bonds
the equal sharing of electrons
bond polarity of nonpolar covalent bond
0 - 0.3
bond polarity of polar covalent bond
0.4 - 0.7
bond polarity of ionic bond
> 1
molecule
group of atoms that are bonded by covalent bonds
the larger the difference, the ____ _______ ________
less covalent character
the smaller the difference, the ____ _______ ____________
more covalent character
molecule
group of atoms that are bonded by covalent bonds
step 1 of a covalent bond forming
atoms are far apart
step 2 of a covalent bond forming
atoms closer together
step 3 of a covalent bond forming
bond forms, attraction = repulsion
can the bond break
yes, if it’s held too tight together, the repulsion will be > than the attraction
