Electronegativity and Bonding

Take charge of your learning! Take part in scientific explorations, interactive exercises—and do it all right there on your device!

Explore how electronegativity affects the nature of chemical bonds. Discover what makes a bond covalent and what makes it ionic.

• Change the electronegativities of two given nuclei.
• Observe how the electrons behave when electronegativities of the nuclei are changed.
• Build ionic and covalent bonds using nuclei with different electronegativities.
• Build specific molecules by combining two elements.

App features:
• Manipulate an interactive simulator to explore the effect of electronegativity on bonding.
• Watch animations that explain why electronegativity affects nature of bonds.
• Practice new skills and knowledge in the exercise mode.
• Test your knowledge with interactive tasks and quizzes.
