Mini- Polarity Flashcards
1
Q
What is a covalent bond?
A
A covalent bond is formed when two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons (from valence shells)
2
Q
Electronegativity?
A
the attraction of an atom fro the shared electrons is a property of its electronegativity
3
Q
A high electronegative?
A
more strongly the electrons are being pulled towards when sharing (bully)
4
Q
Polar?
A
Covalent bonds with 2 different electronegativities are polar
5
Q
Non-polar?
A
equal sharing
6
Q
polar (co)?
A
electronegativity between 0.5 and 1.7
7
Q
Ionic?
A
complete transfer electronegativity greater than 2
8
Q
Where are the elements that are most electronegative?
A
The right-hand corner
