2. Definitions
1. Chemical bond: - The attractive force that
holds atoms together in a compound is called
chemical bond.
2. Ionic or electrovalent bond: - It is defined as
the electrostatic force of attraction between
positive and negative ions.
3. Covalent bond: - Achemical bond that involves
the sharing of electrons is called covalent bond.
4. Single covalent bond (—): -such a bond is
formed when one electron is contributed from
each atom making one shared pair. E.g. Cl2
5. Double covalent bond: -in such a covalent
bond each of the two atoms contribute two
electrons as in O2
6. Triple covalent bond: -in triple covalent bond
each atom contributes three electrons as in N2
7. Co-ordinate or dative covalent bond: -a
covalent bond in witch one of the bonded atoms
furnishes both of the shared electrons.
8. Hydrogen bond: - it is an electrostatic force of
attraction between a partially positive hydrogen
atom of one molecule and the electronegative
atom of the other molecule
Chemistry MCQs Dr. Sajid Ali Talpur
3. 9. Metabolic Bond: - It is defined as the force of
attraction between electrons and the positive
nuclei of atoms.
10. Dispersion Forces: The dispersion forces are
the weak attractive forces between temporarily
polarized atoms (or molecules) caused by the
varying positions of the electrons during their
motion about the nuclei
11. Dipole moment: - the measure of the degree of
the polarity of a polar compound is called dipole
moment.
12. Electronegativity: - It is the power of an atom
to attract shared pair of electrons towards itself.
13. Bond pairs electrons: - also called active set of
electrons they take part in bond formation and
are incorporated as shared pair.
14. Lone pair of electrons: - also called non
bonding pairs, are paired electrons but don’t
take part in bonding.
