Front

Define ionic bonding.

Back

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

Front

Define metallic bonding.

Back

Metallic bonding is the attraction between metal ions and delocalized electrons, allowing metals to conduct electricity and heat.

Front

Define molecular covalent bonding.

Back

Molecular covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons between nonmetal atoms, resulting in the formation of discrete molecules.

Front

Define network covalent bonding.

Back

Network covalent bonding is a strong bond formed by a continuous network of covalent bonds, resulting in a solid with high melting and boiling points.

Front

What is a characteristic of ionic compounds?

Back

Ionic compounds typically have high melting and boiling points and conduct electricity when dissolved in water.
