Front

What is a covalent bond?

Back

A covalent bond is a chemical bond formed by 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 eight 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 significance of valence electrons in chemical bonding?

Back

Valence electrons determine how an atom can bond with other atoms and are crucial for understanding reactivity.

Front
