Bonding Review

Front

What is an ionic bond?

Back

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of charged ions.

What happens to electrons in an ionic bond?

Back

In an ionic bond, electrons are transferred from one atom to another.

Front

What is the attraction between molecules and ions called?

Back

Molecule-ion attraction.

Front

Which compound conducts electricity when dissolved in water?

Back

Ionic compounds, such as NaCl (sodium chloride), conduct electricity when dissolved in water.

Front

How many valence electrons does Oxygen need to be stable?

Back

Oxygen needs 2 more valence electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.

Front

What is the maximum number of valence electrons an atom can have?

Back

The maximum number of valence electrons an atom can have is 8, following the octet rule.

Front

What is the significance of valence electrons in bonding?

Back

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

Front

What is a molecule?

Back

A molecule is a group of two or more atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound.

Front

What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonds?

Back

Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons and the attraction between oppositely charged ions, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms.

Front

What is a crystal lattice structure?

Back

A crystal lattice structure is a highly ordered arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules in a crystalline material, typical of ionic compounds.
