What is a covalent bond?

Back

A covalent bond is a type of chemical bond where two nonmetals share one or more pairs of valence electrons.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What are valence electrons?

Back

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

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Why do noble gases not form bonds?

Back

Noble gases do not form bonds because they have a full octet of electrons in their outer shell, making them stable.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What happens to metals in ionic bonds?

Back

In ionic bonds, metals tend to lose valence electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What happens to nonmetals in ionic bonds?

Back

In ionic bonds, nonmetals tend to gain valence electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What type of elements typically form covalent bonds?

Back

Covalent bonds are typically formed between two nonmetals.
