Question

match each description to its correct type of bond. labels: one polar molecule is attracted to another polar molecule. an atom with high electronegativity shares electrons with an atom that has relatively low electronegativity. two atoms with similar or identical electronegativities share electrons. an atom with a very high electronegativity pulls an electron from an atom with very low electronegativity. drop zones: hydrogen bonds (1/4), polar covalent bonds (2/4), nonpolar covalent bonds (3/4), ionic bonds (4/4)

Explanation:

• Hydrogen bonds: These occur between polar molecules, where the positive end of one polar molecule is attracted to the negative end of another.
• Polar covalent bonds: Form when atoms with different electronegativities share electrons (the more electronegative atom pulls electrons more, creating a partial charge).
• Nonpolar covalent bonds: Form when atoms with similar electronegativities share electrons equally (no partial charges).
• Ionic bonds: Form when a highly electronegative atom steals an electron from an atom with low electronegativity, creating ions that attract each other.

Answer:

Hydrogen bonds (1/4)

• One polar molecule is attracted to another polar molecule.

Polar covalent bonds (2/4)

• An atom with high electronegativity shares electrons with an atom that has relatively low electronegativity.

Nonpolar covalent bonds (3/4)

• Two atoms with similar or identical electronegativities share electrons.

Ionic bonds (4/4)

• An atom with a very high electronegativity pulls an electron from an atom with very low electronegativity.
