When do covalent bond forms?

When two or more nonmetals share their electrons.

100

What is a molecule with 2 atoms?

Diatomic molecule

100

What is the prefix when the number of atoms is 5

Penta-

100
What are the first two steps for writing the formula of molecular compounds?
  • Check what atoms are in the compound.

  • Check the prefixes to find the number of atoms. After you check the prefix, write down the number as a subscript on the element’s name.

200

Why do nonmetals share their electrons?

To achieve the stable electron configuration

200

What is a polar molecule?

Atoms in the molecule that has a partial positive or negative charge.

200

What element appears in the name first?

More metallic elements.

200

What number of subscripts is skipped when you write the formula?

Number 1

300

What are the two types of covalent bonds?

Polar Covalent Bonds and Nonpolar Covalent Bonds

300

In C2H4, how much carbon and how much hydrogen are there?

Two Carbon atoms and four hydrogen atoms


300

Is attraction between polar covalent molecules stronger than the attraction between nonpolar covalent molecules? Yes or no?

Yes

300

What is the prefix for number 9

Nona-

400

Which type of covalent bond has a greater attraction between polar and nonpolar covalent bond?

A polar covalent bond has a greater attraction than a nonpolar covalent bond.

400

which molecules have a higher melting point? Are the polar molecules or nonpolar molecules? Explain.

Polar molecules, because they have greater attraction between the atoms, they need more energy or heat to be melted.

400

If you have "ao" or "oo" for naming, what do you do?

Convert it into "o"

400

What is the formula for Oxygen Difluoride?

OF2

500

Which type of covalent bond has a partial positive charge?

Polar bond

500

Why do molecules covalently bond?

because the difference between the electronegativities of two atoms in the molecular compound or molecule is too small for an electron transfer to occur to form ions

500

What is the name of this compound? CP

Carbon Monophospide

500

What is the formula for Diphosphorus tetroxide?

P₂O₄
