Concepts in Chemistry
Can atoms share electrons unequally in a covalent bond? Yes, they can. Why do atoms share electrons unequally in a covalent bond? When atoms differ in electronegativity, the most electronegative atom …

How hydrogen atoms share valence electrons to form covalent bond and hydrogen molecule (H2) First, if we write the electron configuration of hydrogen, you will realize that hydrogen has only one …
What’re Vander Waals forces? Vander Waals forces are attractive forces between nonpolar molecules. How’s this force produced? As electrons constantly move at random in a molecule, there comes a time …
What’s an ionic bond? An ionic bond is a force of attraction between a positive and a negative charged ion. These oppositely charged ions are usually produced when a metal transfers its electron to a …
How do atoms form covalent bond? Atoms form covalent bonds when two or more nonmetals share valence electrons. What’s a covalent bond? A covalent bond is a force of attraction between two or more …
What’s a chemical bond? A chemical bond is an attractive force between two or more atoms. This attractive force can be intermolecular or intramolecular. The intermolecular forces are weaker and exists …
