  • Molecule

    Two or more atoms chemically bonded together.

  • Ion

    An atom or molecule with a net electrical charge.

  • Ionic bond

    Attraction between oppositely charged ions; holds ions together.

  • Covalent bond

    A bond in which atoms share electrons.

  • Hydrogen bond

    A weak attraction involving a partially positive hydrogen and an electronegative atom.

  • Polar

    Has an uneven distribution of electrical charge.

  • Nonpolar
