200
A bond where two atoms share three pairs of electrons
What is a triple covalent bond
200

A molecule that has 2 poles

What is dipole?

200

Where electrons are most probably located in a molecular bonding orbital

What is between the two atomic nuclei?

200
These attractions occur when polar molecules are attracted to one another
What is dipole interactions
300
A molecule that contains 2 atoms
What is a diatomic molecule
300
A pair of valence electrons that are not shared between atoms
What is an unshared pair
300

States that the repulsion between electron pairs causes molecular shapes to adjust so that the valence-electron pairs stay as far apart as possible.
