Front

Which two elements are most likely to form a covalent bond?

Back

Phosphorus (P) and Fluorine (F) are most likely to form a covalent bond.

Front

What is an ionic bond?

Back

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that occurs when one atom transfers electrons to another atom, resulting in the formation of charged ions.

Front

What is a covalent bond?

Back

A covalent bond is a type of chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.

Front

What is the octet rule?

Back

The octet rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full outer shell of 8 electrons.

What type of elements typically form ionic bonds?

Back

Ionic bonds typically form between metals and nonmetals.

Front

What type of elements typically form covalent bonds?

Back

Covalent bonds typically form between nonmetals.
