Document Summary

Bonds that are electrically neutral due to equal haring of electron between atoms: e. g. Molecules with mostly nonpolar bonds = nonpolar molecules. Larger molecules may have some regions with nonpolar bonds and other regions with polar bonds: e. g. An ion is an atom or molecule that has gained or lost one or more electrons, resulting in a net electric charge: cation = net positive charge, anion = net negative charge. Forms when a cation binds to an anion. The precise shape of a molecule is: usually very important to its function in the living cell, determined by the positions of its atoms" valence orbitals. Hybridization of orbitals: the single s and three p orbitals of a valence shell involved in covalent bonding combine to form four teardrop-shaped hybrid orbitals. These orbitals extend to the four corners of an imaginary tetrahedron (outlined in pink). Molecules assume different shapes depending on the arrangements and numbers of bonds.
