Study Notes
Covalent Bonds
- The primary force holding atoms together in a covalent bond is the sharing of one or more pairs of electrons.
Molecular Shapes
- A molecule with a trigonal planar arrangement of electron pairs has a shape resembling a triangle, with all atoms in a single plane.
Metallic Bonds
- Metallic bonds are typically found in metals, where electrons are delocalized and free to move throughout the metal lattice.
Bond Strength
- The correct order of increasing bond strength is: ionic < polar covalent < nonpolar covalent.
Electronegative Bonds
- When a highly electronegative atom, such as oxygen, bonds with a less electronegative atom, such as hydrogen, a polar covalent bond is formed.
