Bonding Types
Two nonmetals share electrons to form a bond. What is this type of bond called?
What is a covalent bond?
This force occurs between all molecules due to temporary shifts in electron density.
What is London dispersion forces?
A molecule with two atoms and no lone pairs is this shape.
What is linear?
The region of space around an atom occupied by bonding or nonbonding electrons is called this.
What is an electron domain?
Name the compound CO.
What is carbon monoxide?
This bond forms when two atoms share electrons unequally, causing partial charges on the atoms.
What is a polar covalent bond?
Molecules with permanent dipoles interact via this force.
What is dipole-dipole interaction?
A molecule with three bonded atoms and no lone pairs is this shape.
What is trigonal planar?
Electrons not shared in bonds are called this.
What is a lone pair?
Name the compound SO₂.
What is sulfur dioxide?
A metal reacts with a nonmetal by transferring electrons. What type of bond forms?
What is an ionic bond?
This specific interaction occurs when H is covalently bonded to N, O, or F.
What is hydrogen bonding?
H₂O has 2 bonded atoms and 2 lone pairs. What is its molecular geometry?
What is bent?
Double and triple bonds count as this when determining molecular geometry.
What is one electron domain per bond?
Write the formula for phosphorus triiodide.
What is PI₃?
Two atoms share three pairs of electrons. Name the bond type.
What is a triple covalent bond?
Noble gas atoms can interact due to this type of force.
What is London dispersion forces?
NH₃ has 3 bonds and 1 lone pair. Name its molecular geometry.
What is trigonal pyramidal?
The central atom itself is not considered this when counting electron domains.
What is an electron domain?
Explain why covalent compound subscripts are not reduced.
What is they represent the exact number of atoms in the molecule?
Identify the bond type in a molecule where electrons are shared equally between two identical nonmetals.
What is a nonpolar covalent bond?
Between SiH₂O molecules, this is the dominant intermolecular force.
What is dipole-dipole forces?
A molecule with four electron domains, one of which is a lone pair, has this shape.
What is trigonal pyramidal?
Explain how a noble gas like Ar can briefly interact with another Ar atom without forming a permanent bond.
What is temporary dipole / London dispersion forces?
Write the formula for dinitrogen tetraoxide.
What is N₂O₄?
