Electronegativity- attraction of the nucleus of one atom, to the electrons of another.
First Ionization Energy(not within a bond)- The amount of energy required to strip one electron from another atom.

The water molecule is polar meaning that each end of the molecule has an electrical charge Because of this characteristic water?
The concept of polarity arises from the concept of electronegativity. In a covalent bond, the more electronegative atom attracts the shared pair of electrons towards itself. Similarly, The water molecule is polar because oxygen is highly electronegative and attracts the electrons towards itself. This results in a V-shaped structure to its molecule rather than a linear structure like carbon dioxide. This V-shaped structure provides it a net dipole moment and hence it is called polar.
What is called when electrons are not shared equally in a molecule?
polar
Shared pair of electrons holds a chemical bond called?
When two atoms share electrons, the shared pair of electrons form a chemical bond called a covalent bond.
Which electrons in an atomic take part in chemical bonding and what are they called?
outer energy level electrons... called valence electrons
What is a neutral particle that forms as a result of electron sharing?
A neutral particle formed when atoms share electrons?
Which term indicates how strongly an atom attracts the electron in a chemical bond?
Linus Pauling defined electronegativity as "the ability of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons to itself."
What is induced force?
the positive end of one molecule attracts the mobile electrons of the nearby non polar molecule in this way polarity is induced these forces called as dipole-induce dipole forces
How much an element attracts electrons is called what?
Electronegativity
What are two or more unlike atoms held together by chemical bonds called?
Two non-identical atoms held together by the sharing of two electrons in a bond, is called a molecule. Two identical atoms held together by the sharing of two electrons, is called a diatomic molecule.
A chemical bond formed when two atoms share electrons is called a(n)?
a covalent bond is when two atoms share a pair of electrons
The loss of electrons by a molecule atom or ion is called?
oxidation. Gaining electrons is called reduction.

What is a substance formed by chemical bonds called?
A chemical molecule
What is called when electrons are not shared equally in a molecule?
polar
Why is there no such molecule as methane?
There is a molecule called methane; its chemical formula is CH4.
Loss of electrons from a molecule is called?
Ionization, it becomes a cation
When a molecule gains oxygen or loses electrons its called?
an ion
