Unit 03: Chemical Bonding I & II

Front

What type of force occurs between the nuclei of two or more atoms because they are the same charge?

Back

Repulsive Electrostatic Force

Front

Identify the type of bond that will form in the compound CH₄.

Back

Covalent bond

Front

A ________ is an attraction between atoms that allows the formation of chemical substances that contain two or more atoms.

Back

Chemical bond

Front

True or False: When atoms have fewer than eight electrons, they tend to react and form more stable compounds.

Back

True

Front

How many valence electrons would an alkaline earth metal element have?

Back

2

Front

What is a covalent bond?

Back

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

Front

What is an ionic bond?

Back

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.

Front

Define metallic bond.

Back

A metallic bond is a type of chemical bond that occurs between metal atoms, characterized by a 'sea of electrons' that are free to move.

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 polar and nonpolar covalent bonds?

Back

Polar covalent bonds occur when electrons are shared unequally between atoms, while nonpolar covalent bonds occur when electrons are shared equally.
