What determines whether or not an atom will bond?
Electronegativity
What determines the type of bond that forms between atoms or compounds?
E.N difference
How does the number of valence electrons affect an element?
The number of valence electrons affect the type of bond formed by an atom with other atoms as it determines the number and type of atoms it needs to bond with. An atom with one valence electron, for example, will bond with one atom that needs one electron.
As the number of bonds between two carbon atoms increases what decreases?
The bond length (Distance between two carbon nuclei) decreases.
If two covalently bonded atoms move farther than a distance of the bond length what is the potential energy of the atoms?
If two covalently bonded atoms move further apart than their normal bond length, the potential energy of the entity containing the two atoms is increased.

Hydrogen bond length will NOT be?
dependent on donor and acceptor atoms
As the number of bonds between two carbon atoms increases what decreases?
The bond length (Distance between two carbon nuclei) decreases.
How do you define bond length?
In molecular geometry, bond length refers to the distance separating nuclei of bonded atoms in a single molecule.
What is the term for the distance between 2 bonded atoms?
at which potential energy is at a minimuim.
The scale used to test the relative bond strength between atoms is called the?
Usually a temperature scale is used to test the relative bond strength between atoms. The temperature required to break the bonds determines the bond strength.
A compound with only two atoms does have bond length bond angle chemical structure or chemical bond?
The answer would be bond angle, for number 19#
If two covalently bonded atoms move farther than a distance of the bond length what is the potential energy of the atoms?
If two covalently bonded atoms move further apart than their normal bond length, the potential energy of the entity containing the two atoms is increased.
What are subatomic particles that determine an atoms behavior or bonding ability?
Electrons. The number of valence or "free" electrons an atom has determines how it can bond with other atoms.
The distance between the nuclei and two bonded atoms is referred to as?
bond length
