Scientific Method Observation, hypothesis, experiment, and
analysis
Covalent Bond Sharing of a pair of valence electrons by 2 atoms
, Polar Covalent Bond Atom is bonded to a more electronegative atom,
the electrons of bond aren't shared equally.
Ionic Bond Only 2 ions of opposite charge can form this
Hydrogen Bond Attraction between a hydrogen and an
electronegative atom
van der Waals weak, occurs when atoms and molecules are very
close together. They stick together. This bond
allows gecko to walk on the wall
Dynamic equilibrium Reactions are still going on, but with no net
effect on the concentrations of reactants and
products. This does NOT mean they are equal in
concentration.
Acid substance that increases the hydrogen ion
concentration of a solution
Base substance that reduces the hydrogen ion
concentration of a solution
