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 octet rule?

Back

Atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full outer shell of eight electrons.

Front

What is a covalent bond?

Back

A chemical bond formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms.

Front

What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonds?

Back

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