  16. what types of bond forms btwn atoms with small differences in electronegativity (.4 - 1.7)
    polar covalent
  17. coordinated covalent bond
    bond in which a pair of electron originates from just one of the atoms
  18. 3 steps for determining geometric configuration
    • 1.draw Lewis structure of the molecule
    • 2.count the bonding and non bonding electron pairs in the valence shell of the central atom
