Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability.

1. What property of an atom determines its ability to attract electrons in a chemical bond?

a

Ionization energy

b

Electron affinity

c

Electronegativity

d

Atomic radius

2. A bond between two atoms with a large difference in electronegativity will most likely be:

a

Nonpolar covalent

b

Polar covalent

c

Ionic

d

Metallic

1. In a nonpolar covalent bond, electrons are shared equally between two atoms.

T

True

F

False

2. Water (H2O) is a nonpolar molecule because of its symmetrical structure.

T

True

F

False

1. The measure of an atom's ability to attract electrons in a chemical bond is called  .

2. A bond formed between two atoms with a small electronegativity difference (0.0-0.4) is generally considered to be a   bond.

3. In a   covalent bond, electrons are shared unequally, creating partial positive and negative charges.

1. Explain the difference between a polar covalent bond and a nonpolar covalent bond.

2. Give an example of a molecule with polar bonds but is a nonpolar molecule overall. Explain why.
