FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is electronegativity?

Back

Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons. It is a key factor in determining the type of bond that will form between atoms.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the electronegativity difference that indicates an ionic bond?

Back

An electronegativity difference greater than 1.7 typically indicates an ionic bond.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the electronegativity difference that indicates a polar covalent bond?

Back

An electronegativity difference between 0.4 and 1.7 typically indicates a polar covalent bond.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the electronegativity difference that indicates a non-polar covalent bond?

Back

An electronegativity difference of less than 0.4 typically indicates a non-polar covalent bond.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What type of bond does CuF form?

Back

CuF forms an ionic bond due to the high electronegativity difference between copper and fluorine.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What type of bond does HCl form?

Back

HCl forms a polar covalent bond due to the difference in electronegativity between hydrogen and chlorine.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What type of bond does H2 form?

Back

H2 forms a non-polar covalent bond as both hydrogen atoms have the same electronegativity.
