Why 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.
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.
Can an atom make more than one bond?
Yes, it is possible.
A bond formed when one atom transfers on or more electrons to a second atom is called?
ionic bond
A type of bond in which electrons are transferred?
An ionic bond results when there is a transfer of one or more electrons from atom to another atom.
Can every atom form every type of bond?
Theoretically, in extreme conditions, every atom can form every type of bonds. Generally, atoms tend to bond each other by releasing the most possible energy. The lower the energy of the bond is the more stable.
What type of bond occurs when an atom shares on or more pairs of electrons with another atom?
covalent
How an ionic bond differs from a covalent bond?
An ionic bond is formed when one atom donates one or more electrons to another atom. A covalent bond does not involve a transfer of electrons, it involves sharing electrons.
What type of bond forms when the shared electrons spend more time around the more electronegative atom and less time around the less electronegative atom?
A polar covalent bond.
Why is it not possible for a chlorine atom to form a double covalent bond?
Chlorine has 7 valence electrons and needs one more electron to form octet. Hence each chlorine will form only one covalent bond and not two bonds (or double bond).
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.
In a polar bond does one atom pull on the shared electrons more than the other atom?
Yes
