A force holding two or more atoms together.
What is a bond?
Na
Metallic bond
The VSEPR geometry of H2O.
What is bent?
This type of bond is soft, has low melting and boiling points, and is generally non-conductive.
What is a covalent bond?
Involves a sea of mobile electrons.
What is a metallic bond?

What is linear?
The energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron in an atom.
What is ionization energy?
Involves the transfer of electrons.
What is an ionic bond?
HCl
The VSEPR geometry of ammonia.
What is pyramidal?
This type of bond allows for a substance to be malleable, ductile, have high melting and boiling points, and to be conductive in any phase.

What is tetrahedral?
On a periodic table, this factor decreases from left to right and increases from top to bottom.
What is atomic radius?
A force of attraction for the most loosely bound electrons both within an atom and nearby atoms.
What is electronegativity?
C8H10N4O2
Covalent bonds
What is bent?
This type of bond produces compounds that are hard, have high melting and boiling points, and are conductive only in the aqueous or liquid phase.
