Hydrogen bonds can occur in both organic and inorganic molecules. They are not chemical bonds (such as a covalent bond)…
Intermolecular forces (or intermolecular attractions) are the attractive forces between neighbouring molecules. These forces are much weaker than covalent or…
The electronegativity of atoms can affect the polarity of covalent bonds. Polar Covalent Bonds If a covalent bond forms between…
Electronegativity – a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair (bonding pair) of electrons. Covalent…
A metallic bond can be defined as follows: Metallic Bond – the electrostatic attraction between delocalised electrons and positive metal…
Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons. The position of protons and neutrons within an atom is pretty…
This post describes 5 differences between ionic and covalent bonding. 1. Elements Ionic bonds form between metals and non-metals. Covalent…
Covalent bonds form when two atoms share a pair of electrons. A dative covalent bond (or coordinate bond) is a…
A covalent bond can be defined as follows: Covalent Bond – a bond formed by a shared pair of electrons…
An ionic bond can be defined as follows: Ionic Bond – the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions This type…
