Define ionic bonding.

Back

Ionic bonding is the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, typically formed when one atom donates electrons to another.

Front

Define covalent bonding.

Back

Covalent bonding is the sharing of electron pairs between atoms, typically occurring between nonmetals.

What is a Bohr Diagram?

Back

A Bohr Diagram is a simple representation of an atom that shows the nucleus and the arrangement of electrons in energy levels.

Front

What is the significance of valence electrons?

Back

Valence electrons determine an atom's chemical properties and its ability to bond with other atoms.

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.
