How does an ionic bond dissolve compared to a covalent.
Ionic bonds when dissolved in water, stick together, and covalent bonds break apart.
What do electrons do in an ionic bond?
Transfer
How does electronegativity determine what type of bond two atoms will form?
If large difference, going to be polar or ionic (depending on if metal or nonmetal), if small difference or non going to be nonpolar or possibly polar.
H2O is an example of what bond?
Polar
When given 2 helium atoms, what type of bond would form.
Nonpolar
What do electrons do in a polar bond?
Unequally share
What is the big difference between polar bonds and nonpolar bonds.
Polar bonds have two different atoms, but nonpolar bonds are the same atoms.
What bonds are covalent?
Polar and nonpolar
When given a potassium atom and a fluoride atom, what type of bond will form?
Ionic
What do electrons do in a nonpolar bond?
