Types Of Bonds Flashcards
What is a chemical bond?
A chemical bond is a lasting attraction between atoms, ions, or molecules that enables the formation of chemical compounds.
True or False: Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons.
True
What type of bond is formed when electrons are transferred from one atom to another?
Ionic bond
What is the term for a bond formed by the attraction between positively and negatively charged ions?
Ionic bond
What type of bond is formed when atoms share electrons equally?
Nonpolar covalent bond
What type of bond is formed when atoms share electrons unequally?
Polar covalent bond
What is the term for a bond that is stronger than a hydrogen bond but weaker than an ionic or covalent bond?
Hydrogen bond
What is the term for a bond formed by the attraction between a hydrogen atom and a highly electronegative atom?
Hydrogen bond
What is the term for a weak bond that involves the attraction between a partially positive hydrogen atom and a partially negative atom in another molecule?
Hydrogen bond
What type of bond is formed by the sharing of electron pairs between atoms?
Covalent bond
What is the term for a bond formed by the sharing of electron pairs between atoms?
