Ionic AND Covalent Bonding

Front

What are valence electrons?

Back

Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom that are involved in forming bonds with other atoms.

Front

What type of bond is formed when electrons are shared between atoms?

Back

Covalent bond.

Front

What type of bond is formed when one atom transfers electrons to another atom?

Back

Ionic bond.

Front

What is the goal of the Lewis Dot Structure?

Back

To show the element's valence electrons and bonding capabilities.

Front

What happens to an atom when it loses an electron?

Back

It becomes a positive ion.

Front

How many valence electrons does Oxygen have?

Back

6.

Front

What is an ionic bond?

Back

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that occurs when one atom donates an electron to another atom, resulting in the formation of positive and negative ions.

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 the charge of a negative ion?

Back

Negative.

Front

What is the charge of a positive ion?

Back
