Question
- match each type of bond to its description.
nonpolar covalent
polar covalent
ionic
electrons shared unequally
electrons shared equally
electrons transfered
(note: some text at the bottom is partially cut off but the main question is clear)
Brief Explanations
To solve this, we recall the definitions of each bond type:
- Ionic Bond: Involves the transfer of electrons (electrons are "stolen" or transferred from one atom to another, resulting in ions that are attracted).
- Nonpolar Covalent Bond: Electrons are shared equally between atoms (since the atoms have similar electronegativities, there's no significant charge separation).
- Polar Covalent Bond: Electrons are shared unequally between atoms (due to a difference in electronegativities, creating a partial charge on atoms).
Now we match:
- "Electrons transferred" corresponds to Ionic (as ionic bonds involve electron transfer between atoms to form ions).
- "Electrons shared unequally" corresponds to Polar covalent (unequal sharing creates polarity).
- "Electrons shared equally" corresponds to Nonpolar covalent (equal sharing means no polarity in the bond).
- The last description "atoms bonded together makes a" (likely a typo or cut-off, but assuming the standard matching, we use the above).
