Back

Linear structure with double bonds between carbon and each oxygen.

Front

What do nonmetals tend to do in chemical reactions?

Back

Gain electrons.

Front

What is a covalent bond?

Back

A bond formed when two atoms share electrons.

Front

What is the octet rule?

Back

Atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full outer shell of eight electrons.

Front

What is the difference between polar and nonpolar covalent bonds?

Back

Polar covalent bonds have unequal sharing of electrons, while nonpolar covalent bonds have equal sharing.

Front

What is electronegativity?

Back

The tendency of an atom to attract electrons in a chemical bond.

Front

What is a dipole moment?

Back

A measure of the separation of positive and negative charges in a molecule.
