Water is known as a polar molecule because ( check all apply)

the oxygen and hydrogen atoms have the same electronegativity.
the hydrogen atom attracts electrons much more strongly than the oxygen atom.
water has two hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to a single oxygen atom.
the oxygen atom has a greater attraction for electrons than the hydrogen atom does.
the water dipole moment is equal to zero.
the electrons of the covalent bond are not shared equally between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms.

In which of the following cases is a polar covalent bond formed?

when the electrons of a bond are shared equally by the two atoms

when the electrons of a bond are shared unequally by the two atoms

when an electron is transferred from one atom to another

when a metallic element forms a bond with a non-metallic element

1. True or False. a. A positively charged ion is called an anion. b. If an atom gives up an electron, it creates negatively charged ion. c. Valence electrons are the electrons that are available for bonding and located in the shells closest to the nucleus. d. An ionic bond is the result of electron sharing. e. When atoms gain, lose, or share electrons they do so in order to have an electron configuration of a noble gas. f. As you go across the periodic table left to right, electronegativity will increase. g. The number of valence electrons an atom has is equal to the atomic number. h. Fluorine cannot be the central atom due to the fact that is can only accept 2 electrons. i. When a covalent bond occurs, the atoms overlap one another to create a new orbital. The more overlapping, the stronger the bond. j. A triple bond is considered to be a weak bond.
