Atoms held together by sharing electrons are joined by this.
What is a covalent bond?
100
In forming covalent bonds, electron sharing occurs so that atoms attain this.
What is full valence shells or electron configurations of noble gases?
100

This trend increases as you go from left to right on the periodic table and contributes to the attractive force of electrons.

What is electronegativity?

100
The bond that occurs when atoms in the covalent bond pull equally on bonding electrons resulting in equal sharing is known as this.
What is a nonpolar covalent bond?
100

This theory is used to determine the geometric shape of molecules.

What is VSEPR Theory?

200
A neutral group of atoms joined together by covalent bonds is known as this.
What is a molecule?
200
A covalent bond between two atoms containing only 2 electrons is known as this.
What is a single covalent bond?
200

A tightly bound group of nonmetals that has a positive or negative charge and behaves as a unit is known as this.

What is a polyatomic ion?

200

A covalent bond between atoms in which the electrons are shared unequally are known as this.

What are polar covalent bonds?

200

Carbon Dioxide is an example of this geometric shape.

What is linear?

300

A compound composed of a metal and a nonmetal is known as this.

What is an ionic compound?

300
A pair of valence electrons not shared between atoms is known as this.

300
A structure that occurs when it is possible to draw two or more valid electron dot structures that have the same number of electron pairs for a molecule or ion is known as this.
What are resonance structures?
400
Compared to ionic compounds, molecular compounds tend to have lower these.
What are melting and boiling points?
400
A bond that involves two shared pairs of electrons is known as this.
What is a double covalent bond?
400

This type of molecule forms when two of the same nonmetals bond together covalently.

What is a diatomic molecule?

400
Attractive forces in which hydrogen covalently bonded to a very electronegative atom is also weakly bonded to an unshared electron pair of another electronegative atom are known as this.
What are hydrogen bonds?
400

500
This shows how many atoms of each element contains.
What is a molecular formula?
500

500

This type of covalent bond contains a sigma bond and a pi bond.

What is a double bond?

500

Intermolecular force that is a result of polar molecules being attracted to each other due to their slightly positive and negative charges.
