the less electro negative atom with partial Double covalent bond, Triple covalent bond
charge delta posivite
Co-ordinate bonding - the sharing of a pair
the more electronegative atom with the of electrons between two atoms where both Electron deficient - an atom or molecule that
partial charge delta negative the electrons in the bond come from the has less than its usual share of electrons
same atom
very weak forces between non-polar Polarity in molecules
molecules Pairs of electrons repel each other
due to constant motion of electrons Id-Id forces lone pair of electron repeal each other, more
than a bonded pair of electrons
increased by number of electrons and
number of contact points repulsion of single and multiple bonds is
treated the same
