Term
Covalent/kekauoha
Definition
It is a bond that exsists between wo nonmetals
Term
Ionic/kekauoha
Definition
A bond that exsists between a nonetal and a metal
Term
Non-polar covalents bonds/kekauoha
Definition
Electrons are equally shared and there is no charge.
Symmetrical
Example: CO2 (carbon dioxide)
Term
Polar covalent bonds/kekauoha
Definition
Electrons are unequally shared.
The molecule has an area of positive charge and an area of negative charge.
Not symmetrical
Examples: H2O (water) NH(ammonia)
Term
Oxidation number/kekauoha
Definition
Used of bonding
Superscript behind the element: electromagnetic charge and oxidation number
Superscript=no charge
+ or - =1
