Ionic and Covalent Bonding Review

Front

Where are metals located on the periodic table?

Back

Metals are primarily located on the left side and in the center of the periodic table, often represented in blue.

Front

Is this a correct dot diagram for neon (Ne)?

Back

False. Neon has 8 valence electrons and should be represented with 4 pairs of dots.

Front

Ionic bonds are between...

Back

Ionic bonds are formed between a metal and a non-metal.

Front

Is this the correct Lewis structure for Bromine?

Back

True. The Lewis structure for Bromine shows 7 valence electrons.

Front

An atom with 3 valence electrons 'wants' a full shell, so it can either gain 5 or lose 3. Which is more likely to occur?

Back

It is more likely to lose 3 electrons to achieve a full shell.

Front

What is an ionic bond?

Back

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that occurs when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, typically between a metal and a non-metal.

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, usually between non-metals.

Front

What is the octet rule?

Back

The octet rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full outer shell of eight electrons.

Front

What are valence electrons?

Back

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

Front

How do you determine the number of valence electrons in an element?

Back

The number of valence electrons can be determined by the group number of the element in the periodic table.
