Ionic and Covalent Bonds

Front

What is the molecular structure of carbon dioxide (CO2)?

Back

The molecular structure of carbon dioxide consists of one carbon atom double bonded to two oxygen atoms, forming a linear shape.

Front

What is the Lewis Structure for an ionic bond between Aluminum and Oxygen?

Back

The Lewis Structure shows Aluminum (Al) donating three electrons to Oxygen (O), resulting in Al^3+ and O^2- ions, which attract each other.

Front

What type of elements typically form ionic bonds?

Back

Ionic bonds typically form between metals and non-metals.

Front

Why do atoms form bonds?

Back

Atoms form bonds to achieve a full outermost energy level, which increases stability.

Front

Where are metals located on the periodic table?

Back

Metals are located on the left side and in the center of the periodic table, often highlighted in blue.

Front

What is a covalent bond?

Back

A covalent bond is a chemical bond formed when two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons.

Front

What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonds?

Back

Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons.

Front

What is the octet rule?

Back

The octet rule states that atoms tend to form bonds in such a way that they have eight electrons in their valence shell, achieving a stable electron configuration.

Front

What is the chemical formula for sodium chloride?

Back

The chemical formula for sodium chloride is NaCl.

Front

What is a polar covalent bond?

Back

A polar covalent bond is a type of covalent bond where electrons are shared unequally between two atoms, resulting in a molecule with a slight charge.
