Matching Pairs Microbiology chapter 2 Online version Chemitstry types of chemical bonds and molecules by misael Lopez 1 Cations 2 nonpolar covalent bond 3 Anions 4 Van der Waals forces 5 Ionic bond 6 Hydrogen bonds 7 Ions 8 Covalent bond 9 Molecules 10 Polar covalent bond 11 Compound - Weakest of intermolecular forces - Dependent on interatomic distance - Unequal sharing of electrons - Somewhat weaker bond than its counterpart. - Weak chemical bonds - Always involves a hydrogen atom (+) attracted to an oxygen (-) or nitrogen (-) - Two or more atoms linked by chemical bonds formed by their valence electrons. - Two or more different elements joined together chemically linkage formed from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a chemical compound - Equal sharing of electrons - electrons are equally distributed - Positively charged ions - Loss of electron(s) - Result from a sharing of electrons - usually the strongest chemical bonds - Negatively charged ions - Gain of electron(s) -Electrically charged atoms, molecules, particles. ~ + or - due to electron loss or gain Redox reactions
