Discussion 2: Chemistry
Learning Goals
The formation and function of molecules and ionic compounds depend on the bonding of chemical atoms.
An initial response that answers all aspects of the prompt will be at least 150 words.
Replies to peers are supportive and are more than "yes," "no," or "I agree."
If you agree with someone's post, explain why. If you disagree, explain why.
- Please compare and contrast the characteristics of polar and nonpolar covalent bonds with ionic bonding, as requested in the discussion prompt.
It is essential to focus on the behavior of electrons involved in these types of chemical bonding.
- Providing specific details rather than a brief overview would be greatly appreciated.
- Discussion Prompt:
In terms of electron sharing between atoms, compare nonpolar covalent bonds, polar covalent bonds, and the formation of ions.
