Essay

For each of the following sentences, fill in the blanks with the best word or phrase selected from the list below.Not all words or phrases will be used; each word or phrase should be used only once.
$\begin{array}{lll}\text { charge } & \text { length } & \text { polar } \\\text { covalent } & \text { molecule } & \text { salt } \\\text { double bond } & \text { noncovalent } & \text { single bond } \\\text { ionic } & \text { nonpolar } & \text { weight }\end{array}$

Whereas ionic bonds form a/an __________, covalent bonds between atoms form a/an __________.These covalent bonds have a characteristic bond __________ and become stronger and more rigid when two electrons are shared in a/an __________.Equal sharing of electrons yields a/an __________ covalent bond.If one atom participating in the bond has a stronger affinity for the electron, this produces a partial negative charge on one atom and a partial positive charge on the other.These __________ covalent bonds should not be confused with the weaker __________ bonds that are critical for the three-dimensional structure of biological molecules and for interactions between these molecules.
