When the electrons of a covalent bond are shared unequally, the bond is called a polar 
covalent bond. Due to the unequal sharing of the electrons in the bond, a polar covalent 
bond has one atom with a partial positive charge, δ+, and one atom with a partial negative 
charge, δ−. 
Sometimes one atom in a bond attracts electrons so much more strongly than the other that 
one or more electrons are fully transferred from one atom to another. This commonly 
happens when metallic atoms combine with nonmetallic atoms. A nonmetallic atom usually 
attracts electrons so much more strongly than a metallic atom that one or more electrons 
shift from the metallic atom to the nonmetallic atom. For example, when the element 
sodium combines with the element chlorine to form sodium chloride, NaCl, the chlorine

atoms attract electrons so much more strongly than the sodium atoms that one electron is 
transferred from each sodium atom to a chlorine atom. 
When an electron is transferred completely from one uncharged atom to another, the atom 
that loses the electron is left with one more proton than electron and acquires a +1 charge 
overall. It therefore becomes a cation. In contrast, an uncharged atom that gains an electron 
will have one more electron than proton, so it forms an anion with a -1 charge. Because 
particles with opposite charges attract each other, there is an attraction between cations and 
anions. This attraction is called an ionic bond.

1. Each noble gas particle consists of a(n)
__________.
2. When an atom _______ one or more electrons, it will have more protons than electrons 
and more plus charge than minus charge. Thus it becomes a cation, which is an ion with a 
positive charge. 
3. When an atom _______ one or more electrons, it then has more electrons than protons 
and more minus charge than plus charge. Thus it becomes an anion, which is an ion with a 
negative charge.
4. An atom or group of atoms that has lost or gained one or more electrons to create a 
charged particle is called a(n) __________.
5. A(n) __________ bond is a link between atoms that results from the sharing of two 
electrons.
6. When the difference in electron‑attracting ability between atoms in a chemical bond is 
__________, the atoms in the bond will have no significant partial charges. We call this 
type of bond a nonpolar covalent bond. 
7. When a nonmetallic atom bonds to another nonmetallic atom, the bond is __________. 
8. When a metallic atom bonds to another nonmetallic atom, the bond is _______.
9. Nonmetallic atoms form anions to get the same number of electrons as the nearest 
__________.

10. When atoms other than the noble gas atoms form bonds, they often have _______ 
electrons around them in total.
