Read each question carefully and provide your best answer. Show all your work for calculations.
1. Which of the following best describes a polar covalent bond?
Electrons are transferred between atoms.
Electrons are shared equally between atoms.
Electrons are shared unequally between atoms.
Atoms are held together by electrostatic attraction of oppositely charged ions.
2. Which of the following elements has the highest electronegativity?
Oxygen
Carbon
Hydrogen
Nitrogen
3. The ability of an atom to attract electrons in a chemical bond is called .
4. A difference in electronegativity greater than typically indicates an ionic bond.
5. In a nonpolar covalent bond, electrons are shared between atoms.
6. Explain how electronegativity difference determines the type of bond formed between two atoms.
7. Water (H2O) is a polar molecule because of the unequal sharing of electrons between oxygen and hydrogen.
True
False
8. All molecules with polar bonds are polar molecules.
True
False
9. Analyze the image below, which represents a covalent bond. Label the partial positive (δ+) and partial negative (δ-) charges, and draw an arrow indicating the direction of electron density shift.
