pair of electrons in a covalent bond
Electrostatic forces - Answer>> The forces of attraction and
repulsion between electrically charged particles
Empirical formula - Answer>> The simplest whole number ratio

and the temperature drops
Exothermic - Answer>> Where heat is given out during a
reaction and the temperature rises
Hydrogen bonding - Answer>> Where a hydrogen atom
covalently bonded to an Nitrogen, Oxygen or Fluorine atom
interacts with another Nitrogen, Oxygen or Fluorine atom
Incomplete Combustion - Answer>> A combustion reaction in
which there is insufficient oxygen
