Do the electron cloud orbit like the sun?
First, recall that planets orbit the sun, not the other way around. Secondly, the term electron cloud is used to describe the body of electrons that orbit the nucleus of an atom. To answer your question as succinctly as possible, the analogy of planets orbiting the sun is one of the best to consider when thinking about the orbit of electrons

What best explains how two oxygen atoms each with six valence electrons can bond with each other?
What best explains how two oxygen atoms each with six valence electrons can bond with each other?
Covalent bonds can best be described as a what of electronts?
The sharing of electrons between atoms
What statement best describes ionic bonding?
A chemical bond holds atoms together.
What best describes metallic bonding?
electrons are free to move among many atoms
What is the best definition of polar bond?
A bond in which electrons are unevenly shared between atoms
True or false Covalent bonds can best be describe as a swapping of electrons?
FALSE!
Which value best classifies a bond between 2 atoms as being ionic?
The values that best classifies a bond between 2 atoms as being ionic are the valence electrons.
The best word to describe how electrons relate to two nuclei in a covalent bond is?
oxygen
Is a good conductor of heat usually composed of atoms with tightly bound electrons?
No. The best conductors are metals (esp copper), which have loosely bound electrons.
What is the best definition of polar covalent bond?
A bond in which electrons are unevenly shared between atoms
What is it that atoms of materials that conduct electricity best tend to be held together by?
Atoms of materials that conduct electricity best tend to be held together by metallic bonds. This is the attraction between positively charged nuclei in metal atoms and the delocalized electrons in the metal.
