non polar covalent bond

a bond in which electron density is shared equally between the two atoms

2
New cards

polar covalent bond

a bond in which electron density are shared unequally between two atoms

3
New cards

Electronegativity

a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons

4
New cards

Dipole

A molecule that has two poles

5
New cards

polar bond

a covalent bond in which the bonding electrons lie closer to the atom with the higher electronegativity

6
New cards

non polar bond

a covalent bond wherein both atoms attract the bonding electrons with the same force
