What is Formal Charge?

500


What is P(F_6)^-?

500

The atom is more tightly held together meaning you need more energy to separate the two atoms

What is a shorter bond length?

500

Chemical Bonds can be thought of as always laying somewhere on a scale between a perfectly ionic situation and a perfectly covalent situation

What is the Continuum of Chemical bonds?

500

The ability of an atom in a molecule to attract the shared electrons in a covalent bond

What is electronegativity? 

500

Calculated from the sum of the formal charges of each atom in the molecule

What is total charge?
