Question | Answer |
---|---|
Chemical Bond | a mutual electrical attraction between the nuclei and valence electrons of different atoms that binds the atoms together |
ionic bonding | chemical bonding that results from the electrical attaction between cations and anions |
covalent bonding | results from the charing of electron pairs |
0 - 0.3 | Nonpolar-covalent |
0.3 - 1.7 | Polar-covalent |
1.7 - 3.3 | Ionic |
nonpolar-covalent bond | a covalent bond in which the bonding electrons are shared equally by the bonded atoms, resulting in a balanced distribution of electrical charge |
polar | an uneven distribution of charge |
polar-covalent | covalent bond in which the bonded atoms have an unequal attraction for the shared electrons |
molecule | a neutral group of atoms that are held together by covalent bonds |
molecular compound | |
chemical formula | shows the types and numbers of atoms combined in a single molecule of a molecular compound |
bond length | the distance between two bonded atoms at their minimum potential energy, average distance between thetwo bonded atoms |
bond energy | the energy reuired to break a chemical bond and form neutral isolated atoms |
when two hydrogen atoms form a moleculte, they share electrons in a _____________. | covalent bond |
