2. reactants
3. covalent bond
4. electronegativity
5. ionic bond
6. polar covalent bond
7. valence electrons
Column B
a. a force that holds atoms together by sharing electrons
b. the substances before a chemical reaction occurs.
c. a force that holds oppoitely charged atoms (or groups of atoms) together
d. a value that describes the relative strength with which an atom of an element attracts electrons to itself in a chemical bond.
e. a force that holds atoms together by unequally shared electrons
f. the electrons in the outermost orbitals of an atom
g. the substances after a chemical reaction occurs
Column A:
1. products - g. the substances after a chemical reaction occurs

3. Covalent bond - (a) a force that holds atoms together by sharing electrons.
4. Electronegativity - (d) a value that describes the relative strength with which an atom of an element attracts electrons to itself in a chemical bond.
5. Ionic bond - (c) a force that holds oppositely charged atoms (or groups of atoms) together.
6. Polar covalent bond - (e) a force that holds atoms together by unequally shared electrons.
7. Valence electrons - (f) the electrons in the outermost orbitals of an atom.
Remember that with chemistry-related questions like this, it's beneficial to have some understanding of the subject matter. In the case of this question, knowing the definitions and properties of these terms would be necessary. You can find these definitions in a variety of resources such as textbooks, online articles, or educational websites that cover chemistry.
