16
Q

chemical bonds

A

attractive force that links atoms together to form molecules

17
Q

covalent bonds

A

atoms share one or more pairs of electrons so that the outer shells are filled; very strong

18
Q

electronegativity

A

attractive force that an atomic nucleus exerts on electrons

19
Q

nonpolar covalent bonds

A

electrons are shared equally (atoms have similar electronegativity)

20
Q

polar covalent bonds

A

one atom has greater electronegativity, so electrons are drawn more to that nucleus

21
Q

ionic bonds

A

when one atom is much more electronegativity than the other, a complete transfer of electrons may occur; formed by electrical attraction of positive and negative ions

22
Q

ions

A

electrically charged particles formed when atoms lose or gain one or more electrons

23
Q

cations

24
Q

anions

25
hydrogen bonds
attraction between the - end of one molecule and the + hydrogen end of another molecule
26
hydrophilic
polar molecules that form hydrogen bonds with water; water loving
27
hydrophobic
nonpolar molecules, such as hydrocarbon; water hating
28
van der waals forces
attractions between nonpolar molecules that are close together; brief and weak
