Chemical bonds

Bonds

Bonds

________ are formed when valence electrons, the electrons in the outermost electronic "shell "of an atom, interact.

bond

A link or force between neighboring atoms in a molecule or compound

intramolecular

Refers to interactions within a molecule

Chemical bonds

________ are the connections between atoms in a molecule.

relative electronegativity

The nature of the interaction between the atoms depends on their ________.

Chemical bonds

________ are forces that hold atoms together to make compounds or molecules.

ionic bond

An attraction between two ions used to create an ionic compound

covalent bond

An interaction between two atoms, which involves the sharing of one or more electrons to help each atom satisfy the octet rule

Atoms

________ with equal or similar electronegativity form covalent bonds, in which the valence electron density is shared between the two ________.

Atoms

________ with relatively similar electronegativities share electrons between them and are connected by covalent bonds.

intermolecular forces

Refers to interactions between two or more molecules

Ionic compounds

________, though composed of strong bonding interactions, tend to form brittle crystalline lattices.

Hydrogen

________ and carbon are not bonded, while in water there is a single bond between each ________ and oxygen.

electron density

The ________ resides between the atoms and is attracted to both nuclei.

Acetylene

________ has a triple bond, a special type of covalent bond that will be discussed later.

Covalent bond

________- An interaction between two atoms, which involves the sharing of one or more electrons to help each atom satisfy the octet rule.
