A measure of an atoms ability to attract electrons is:
Electronegativity
Polarization
Ionization
Electron Affinity
Both polarization and ionization
Atoms that are bonded with an electronegativity difference of 0 to 0.3 are generally considered to be:
Negatively charged compounds
Non-polar covalent compounds
Polar covalent compounds
Ionic compounds
Diatomic compounds
What is the apparent charge on the chlorine atom in the HCl molecule?
+1

Atoms seldom exist as independent particles in nature because:
as single particles, most atoms have low potential energy
their electronegativity is much lower when they combine with other atoms
atoms are more stable when they combine with other atoms
neutral particles are very rare.
When an atom completely gives up its valence electrons to another atom, they form a bond that is considered to be:
Purely ionic
Partially ionic
Polar-covalent
Nonpolar-covalent
Not a bond
You can estimate the degree to which a bond between two atoms is ionic or covalent by calculating the:
distance between atoms nuclei
difference in the atoms' electronegativities
atoms' atomic radii
number of atoms in the compound
overall atomic mass

If two covalently bonded atoms move closer than a distance of the bond length, the potential energy of the atoms:
becomes negative
decreases
increases
remains constant
halves
The electrons involved in the formation of a covalent bond are:
transferred from one atom to another
found only in the s orbitals
valence electrons
in filled orbitals
Bond energy is the energy
absorbed as a molecule forms
change as atoms get closer together
required to break a chemical bond and form separate, neutral atoms
of two covalently bonded atoms.
Bond length between two bonded atoms is:
twice the diameter of the molecular orbital
the separation at which their potential energy is minimum
the separation at which the motion of each atom stops
the sum of the diameters of each of the two overlapping electron clouds
Which compound most likely has the greatest bond energy?
HF; H-F bond length = 92 pm
