CLEMSON BIO 1100 EXAM 1 - DR.
MINOR 2026 REAL QUESTIONS WITH
EXPERTLY VERIFIED ANSWERS.
1. Non-polar Covalent Bond - correct answer -A type of covalent
bond in which electrons are shared equally between two atoms
of similar electronegativity.
2. Polar Covalent Bond - correct answer -A covalent bond
between atoms that differ in electronegativity. The shared
electrons are pulled closer to the more electronegative atom,
making it slightly negative and the other atom slightly positive.
3. Ions - correct answer -An atom or group of atoms that has
gained or lost one or more electrons, thus acquiring a charge.
4. Cation - correct answer -A positively charged ion.
5. Anion - correct answer -A negatively charged ion.

6. Ionic Bond - correct answer -A chemical bond resulting from
the attraction between oppositely charged atoms.
7. Ionic Compounds - correct answer -A compound resulting from
the formation of an ionic bond; also called salt.
8. Hydrogen Bond - correct answer -A type of weak chemical
bond that is formed when the slightly positive hydrogen atom of
a polar covalent bond in one molecule is attracted to the
slightly negative atom of a polar covalent bond in another
molecule or in another region of the same molecule.
9. van der Waals interactions - correct answer -Weak attractions
between molecules or parts of molecules that result from
transient local partial charges.
10. Creation of Ions - correct answer -When two atoms are so
unequal in their attraction for valence electrons that the more
electronegative atom strips an electron away from its partner.
the result from this is an Ion.
