As a bond between a hydrogen atom and a sulfur atom is formed, are the electrons shared or transferred to form a covalent or ionic bond? | The bond between a hydrogen atom and a sulfur atom is non-polar covalent, so the electrons are shared. |
Why do elements share electrons? | The atoms of some elements share electrons because this gives them a full valence shell. |
T or F: The chemical bond formed when 2 atoms share electrons is called a covalent bond. | True |
Ionic compounds are _______ at room temperature that have one ion strip the electron(s) from the other elements' electron cloud. | solids |
The sharing of electrons is called a _______. | covalent bond |
The simplest molecule is ________. | hydrogen |
A hydrogen atom has a single valence _________. | electron |
A single covalent bond is formed when a pair of electrons is shared between two, usually _______, atoms. | nonmetal |
A ______ ______ is formed when a pair of electrons is shared between tow, usually nonmetal, atoms. | covalent bond |
It is helpful to show the pair of electrons in a covalent bond as a ______. | dash mark - as in H-H for hydrogen |
Structural formula is | Showing the pair of electrons in a colvalent bond as a dash mark. - |
_______ formulas are the chemical formulas that show the arrangements of atoms in molecules. | Structural |
Structural formulas are the ________ formulas that show the arrangements of atoms in molecules. | chemical |
The dashes ______ indicate a pair of shared electrons, NEVER ionic bonds. | always |
The dashes always indicate a pair of shared electrons, ______ ionic bonds. | never |
Group 4A-7A nonmetal elemnts are prone to form __ ___. | covalent bonds |
