anionsIons that have a net negative charge are called ___
opposite___ charges attract to each other.
anions, cations___ and ___ are attracted to each other (due to their negative and positive charges)

covalent bondWhat kind of bonds link most molecules in the body? __ __.
double covalent bondTwo atoms share two pairs of electrons (as indicated by two lines in a structural formula). This is called __ __ __
double covalent bondTwo covalent bonds between the same two atoms, four electrons are shared...what kind of bond is this? __ __ __
covalent___ bonds are formed when one electron in the outer electron orbit of each atom is shared between the two atoms.

positiveIn a polar covalent bond, the atom which has partly lost an electron becomes slightly ___.
negativeIn a polar covalent bond, when the electrons reside closer to one atom of the pair the atom acquires a slight ___ charge.
non polarWhen electrons in a covalent bond are shared equally it is called a ___-___ bond.
differentAtoms of ___ elements do not always exert the same pull on shared electrons.
polar covalentUnequal sharing of electrons between different types of atoms, that are covalently bonded, are said to be a ___ ___ bond.
hydrogenExample: Polar bond - water molecule H20: the oxygen atom pulls shared electrons more strongly than ___ atoms
