| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Polar molecules do not share valence electrons [...-ly]. | Polar molecules do not share valence electrons equally. |
| In a [...] covalent bond, electrons are shared equally. | In a pure covalent bond, electrons are shared equally. |
| Polarity is the difference in charge from one end of the molecule to the other due to the distribution of [...] | Polarity is the difference in charge from one end of the molecule to the other due to the distribution of electrons |
| A bond with unequally shared electrons is called a [...] covalent bond. | A bond with unequally shared electrons is called a polar covalent bond. |
| Attractions between the hydrogen of one water molecule and the oxygen of another are called [...] bonds. | Attractions between the hydrogen of one water molecule and the oxygen of another are called hydrogen bonds. |
| Hydrogen [...] are not actually covalent bonds (despite the name). | Hydrogen bonds are not actually covalent bonds (despite the name). |
| [...] pairs tend to repel each other and determine a molecule's shape. | Electron pairs tend to repel each other and determine a molecule's shape. |
| VSEPR (valence shell electron pair [...]) theory predicts molecular shapes. | VSEPR (valence shell electron pair repulsion) theory predicts molecular shapes. |
| A central atom bonded to four peripheral atoms forms a [...]. | A central atom bonded to four peripheral atoms forms a tetrahedron. |
| Lone pairs of [...] can influence molecular shapes. | Lone pairs of valence electrons can influence molecular shapes. |
| The two lone pairs of electrons in water give it a [...] triatomic shape. (instead of linear) | The two lone pairs of valence electrons in water give it a bent triatomic shape. (instead of linear) |
