... and electron to a neutral chlorine atom (Cl) during a chemical reaction, the result would be called a sodium ion (written as Na+) and a chloride ion (written as Cl-). Chemical Bonding Chemical bonds form between atoms when it is energetically favorable. A chemical bond forms when two atoms share two electrons between them. A double bond represents four electrons shared between two atoms. When the ... attract and hold electrons is called its electronegativity. Different types of atoms, oxygen and hydrogen for example, have different electro-negativities. Covalent bonds are the result of at...

... solids. (According to the kinetic-molecular theory, the state of a substance at room temp depends on the strength of the attractions between its particles.) Intramolecular forces: Covalent bonds exist within the molecule, holding the atoms together in a specific shape. Intermolecular forces include: Dispersion forces: Force of attraction between induced dipole. Temporary (- +). Present ... in all molecular substances. Dipole-dipole forces: Some molecules have a permanent (- +) charges. Hydrogen bonds: Stronger bonds ( hydrogen, florine, oxygen, or nitrogen) Large particle results in a s...

... its boiling point. The reason why this happen can be explained with what happens with the water molecules. When the water reach boiling point, the hydrogen bonds break, and the liquid is turned into steam. This makes the temperature stabilise itself after reaching boiling point. This can also be observed in human beings. ... of the body. This causes the body temperature to become stable. Water has a high energy capacity because it takes a lot of energy to break the bonds of the H2O molecules. It is important for the homeostasis that humans have a lot of water in the body. The water helps...
