Chemical bonds

Chemical bonds

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

Chemical bonds

________ are the connections between atoms in a molecule.

Atoms

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

Ionic compounds

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

intermolecular forces

Refers to interactions between two or more molecules

bond

A link or force between neighboring atoms in a molecule or 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

Covalent bond

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

Hydrogen

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

intramolecular

Refers to interactions within a molecule

Atoms

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

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.

relative electronegativity

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

ionic bond
