Dipoles and bonding definitions

Question 1

Ionic bonding

Answer 1

A bond formed by the electrostatic attraction between positive cations and negative anions

Question 2

covalent bonding

Answer 2

A pair of electrons with opposite spin shared by two atoms that both donated an electron

Question 3

co-ordinate bond

Answer 3

Covalent bond but one atom donates both electrons

Question 4

electronegativity

Answer 4

the ability of an atom to attract an electron to itself in a covalent bond

Question 5

polar bonds

Answer 5

Covalent bond where the electrons are pulled to the more electronegative atom (difference in charge).

Question 6

pauling scale

Answer 6

used to measure electronegativity
