FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is Ionic Bonding?
Back
Ionic bonding is the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, typically formed when one atom donates an electron to another, resulting in a positive ion (cation) and a negative ion (anion).

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is Covalent Bonding?
Back
Covalent bonding is the sharing of electron pairs between atoms, allowing each atom to attain the electron configuration of a noble gas.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does VSEPR stand for?
Back
VSEPR stands for Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion, a theory used to predict the geometry of molecules based on the repulsion between electron pairs.

What is the geometry of a molecule with two bonding pairs and no lone pairs?
Back
The geometry is linear.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What happens to electrons in metals during ionic bond formation?
Back
Metals typically lose electrons to form positive ions.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the octet rule?
Back
The octet rule states that atoms tend to form bonds in such a way that they have eight electrons in their valence shell, achieving a stable electron configuration.
