(10 cards)
What type of bond do the atoms have the biggest difference in EN?
ionic bond
What type of bond are electrons equally shared?
nonpolar covalent bond
What bond unequally shares electrons?
polar covalent bond
How do ionic molecules react to water?
The water pulls the ions apart.
Why does a bigger difference in EN cause an ionic bond?
This is because the electronegativity is so much higher on one of the atoms that is just takes/gives the election.
How do covalent bonds react to water?
The molecules stay together.
What is bond length?
distance between the atoms.
name the covalent bond: N2O3
dinitrogen trioxide
A single solid line represents:
a pair of electrons being shared
Why are atoms pulled together in a covalent bond?
The atoms are fighting over the electron and get pulled together.
