Front

What is a polar molecule?

Back

A molecule with a net dipole moment due to uneven distribution of electrons.

Front

What is a nonpolar molecule?

Back

A molecule with an even distribution of electrons, resulting in no net dipole moment.

Front

What type of bond forms between a metal and a nonmetal?

Back

Ionic bond.

Front

What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonds?

Back

Ionic bonds involve transfer of electrons, while covalent bonds involve sharing of electrons.

Front

What is electronegativity?

Back

A measure of an atom's ability to attract and hold onto electrons.
