Covalent & Ionic Bonding

Front

What is ionic bonding?

Back

Ionic bonding is a type of chemical bond that occurs when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of charged ions that attract each other.

What is covalent bonding?

Back

Covalent bonding is a type of chemical bond that occurs when two non-metal atoms share one or more pairs of electrons.

Where are nonmetals located on the periodic table?

Back

Nonmetals are located on the right side of the periodic table, typically in the red region.

What type of bond is formed between sodium and bromine?

Back

Ionic bond.

Front

What type of bond is formed between two non-metals?

Back

Covalent bond.

Front

What is a polar covalent bond?

Back

A polar covalent bond is a type of covalent bond where the electrons are shared unequally between the two atoms, resulting in a slight charge difference.

Front

What is the octet rule?

Back

The octet rule states that atoms tend to bond in such a way that they each have eight electrons in their valence shell, achieving a stable electron configuration.

Front

What is a molecule?

Back

A molecule is a group of two or more atoms bonded together by covalent bonds.
