Q

ionic bonds form as a result of the electrostatic attraction between

A

ions

2
Q

a single covalent bond involves the sharing of

A

two electrons

3
Q

the measure of an atom’s ability to attract electrons is its

A

electronegativity

4
Q

atoms that are bonded with an electronegativity difference of 0 to .3 are generally considered to be

A

non polar covalent compounds

5
Q

atoms seldom exist as independent particles in nature because

A

atoms are more stale when they combine with other atoms

6
Q

when an atom completely gives up its valence electrons to another atom, they from a bond that is considered to be

A

purely ionic

7
Q

you can estimate the degree to which a bond between two atoms is ionic or covalent by calculating the

A

difference in the atom’s electronegativities

8
Q

a mutual electrical attraction between the nuclei and valence electrons of different atoms that binds the atoms together

A

chemical bond

9
Q

chemical bonding that results from the electrical attraction between cations and anions is

A

ionic bonding

Q

results from the sharing of electron pairs between two atoms

A

covalent bonding

Q

a covalent bond in which the bonding electrons are shared equally be the bonded atoms

A

non polar covalent bond

12
Q

a covalent bond in which the bonded atoms have an unequal attraction for the shared electrons

A

polar covalent bond
