08 Covalent Bonding

Front

What is a covalent bond?

Back

A covalent bond is a type of chemical bond where two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons.

Front

What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonds?

Back

Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in charged ions, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms.

Front

What is a molecular covalent bond?

Back

A molecular covalent bond is a type of bond where atoms share electrons to form molecules, typically between nonmetals.

Front

What is an ionic bond?

Back

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.

Front

What is the significance of electronegativity in covalent bonding?

Back

Electronegativity determines how strongly an atom attracts shared electrons; differences in electronegativity can indicate the type of bond (polar or nonpolar) formed.

Front

What is a polar covalent bond?

Back

A polar covalent bond is a type of covalent bond where the electrons are shared unequally between the two atoms, resulting in a molecule with a slight charge.
