1. A(n) ionicbond forms when one atom gives up one or more electrons to another atom. 2. Atoms or molecules with a net electric charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons are ions.
3. A(n) bond involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms, also known as a molecular bond.
4. When one pair of electrons is shared between two atoms, a singlebond is formed.
5. When two pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms, a doublebond is formed.
6. A covalentbond is a type of chemical bond where a pair of electrons is unequally shared between two atoms. As a result, one end of the molecule has a slightly negative charge and the other a slightly positive charge.
7. Atoms involved in a nonpolarbond equally share electrons; there is no charge separation to the molecule.
8. A weak bond called a polarbond results from an attraction between a slightly positive region in a molecule and a slightly negative region in the same or a different molecule.
