Front

How are the bonds in Na₂O best described?

Back

Ionic, because valence electrons are transferred.

Front

In what form can an ionic compound conduct electricity?

Back

When dissolved in water.

Front

What type of bond has an equal sharing of electrons?

Back

Non Polar Covalent

Front

What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonds?

Back

Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons.

Front

What is a polar covalent bond?

Back

A bond where electrons are shared unequally between atoms.

Front

What is the significance of valence electrons in bonding?

Back

Valence electrons determine how atoms interact and bond with each other.

Front

What is the octet rule?

Back

Atoms tend to bond in such a way that they have eight electrons in their valence shell.

Front

What is the formula for calculating the number of valence electrons in an atom?

Back

The number of valence electrons is equal to the group number of the element in the periodic table.
