Why is it possible for an atom to make more than one bond?
An atom can make more than one bond if it has more than one unpaired valence electron.
Does atom give electron to form ionic bond?
Yes, essentially one atom in the bond pulls on the electrons so much harder than the other, that they do share them to form the bond, but the more electronegative atom pretty much owns those electrons.
Does one atom pull on the shared electrons more than the other atom in a polar bond?
yes, they are shared equally
When one atom has a stronger attraction for shared electrons in a bond than the other atom?
If one atom exerts a stronger pull on the electrons than the other, then we have a polar bond.
How does an atom's electronegativity relate to bonding?
The more electronegative an atom is the more "pull" the atom will have on the electrons in the molecules. For example, water (H2O) contains the very electronegative atom Oxygen. Oxygen would pull more electrons toward it so the hydrogen would essentially lose their electrons. The dipole moment would point towards the oxygen. Therefore, the more electronegative an atom is the more the dipole moment will point in its direction therefore affecting polarity of the bond.

In a polar bond does one atom pull on the shared electrons more than the other atom?
Yes
What is a bond in which one atom is much more electronegative than the other?
A polar covalent bond because: When two atoms with different electronegativities form a covalent bond, the shared electrons are more likely to be closer to the atom of higher electronegativity rather than the atom of lower electronegativity.
Nonpolar?
A bond in which neither atom takes more than its share of electrons
Does one atom pull on the shared electrons more than the other atom in a polar bond?
yes, they are shared equally

When one atom has a stronger attraction for shared electrons in a bond than another atom what type of bond is formed?
covalent bond
Explain how it is possible for an atom to have more than one bond?
This depends on the number of valence electrons.
When one atom has a stronger attraction for shared electrons in a bond than the other atom?
If one atom exerts a stronger pull on the electrons than the other, then we have a polar bond.
When does an atom lose electrons through an ionic bond?
An atom loses electrons through an ionic bond when it is a metal. This is because it will become stable more easily when it loses electrons than when it gains them.
How many bodns can a hydrogen atom form?
A hydrogen atom can not form more than one bond, because a hydrogen atom contains only one electron.
