Question 1

What happens to the electrons in an ionic bond?

Answer 1

The valence elctrons are stolen from the atom with less attraction by the other atom.

Question 2

What happens to the elctrons in a polar covalent bond?

Answer 2

They valence electrons are shared by the two atoms.

Question 3

If you are given a clorine atom and a hydrogen atom what bond will form between them? Why?

Answer 3

A nonpolar bond will form because the clorine will take over the hydrogens valence electron.

Question 4

How does electronegativity determine what kind of bond is made?

Answer 4

It determines it because depending on the difference of electro negativity the electrons will either be taken or shared.

Question 5

What is a nonpolar covalent bond?

Answer 5

It is a bond when the atom with more electronegativity will take the valence electrons from the other so the other atom must bond with a different atom to stay balanced.
