Unit 5.2

Question 1

What happens with electrons during ionic bonds?

Answer 1

One more powerful charge attracts and steals an electron from a less powerful atom and takes it for itself.

Question 2

What happens with electrons during polar coevalent bonds?

Answer 2

One atom gets more of the electrons then the other. They do not share them equally.

Question 3

What happens with electrons during nonpolar coevalent bonds?

Answer 3

The two atoms share the electrons equally

Question 4

If one atom has more than another, what kind of bond is it?

Answer 4

Polar Covalent

Question 5

If two atoms are bonded and have equal amount of electrons what kind of bond is it?

Answer 5

Nonpolar covalent

Question 6

When given two atoms, what type of bond will form between them and why?

Answer 6

If one is more powerful than the other then they will probably form an ionic bond. If they are both nonmetal atoms though they will form a coevalent bond.

Question 7

How does electronegativity determine what type of bond two atoms will form?

Answer 7

If one atom has a stronger electronegativity then it will attract more electrons and may form a different bond then if they had equal electronegativity.

Question 8

What kinds of atoms create covalent bonds?

Answer 8

Non metals

Question 9

What kinds of atoms create ionic bonds?

Answer 9

Metals

Question 10

What is bond length?

Answer 10

The distance between the atoms at a point where potential energy is at a minimum.

Question 11

What is the most reactive element?

Answer 11

Fluorine

Question 12

What forms when two pairs of electrons are being shared?

Answer 12

Double bond

Question 13

What forms when three pairs of electrons are being shared?

Answer 13

Covalent bond
