Front

What does VSEPR theory help determine?

Back

The shape and geometry of a molecule.

Front

Which elements are involved in hydrogen bonding?

Back

Oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine.

Front

What is the correct Lewis Dot Structure for ammonia (NH3)?

Back

The Lewis Dot Structure shows nitrogen in the center with three hydrogen atoms bonded to it and one lone pair of electrons.

Front

What type of bond is formed when electrons are shared unequally?

Back

Polar covalent bond.

Front

Which molecule can participate in hydrogen bonding?

Back

NH3 (ammonia).

Front

What is a non-polar covalent bond?

Back

A bond where electrons are shared equally between two atoms.

Front

Define ionic bond.

Back

A bond formed when one atom transfers electrons to another atom, resulting in oppositely charged ions.

Front

What is the significance of electronegativity in bonding?

Back

Electronegativity determines how strongly an atom attracts electrons in a bond.

Front

What is a metallic bond?

Back

A bond formed by the attraction between positively charged metal ions and the electrons in a metal.

Front

What is the octet rule?

Back

Atoms tend to bond in such a way that they have eight electrons in their valence shell.
