Define ionic bond.

Back

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that occurs when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of charged ions.

Front

What is electron configuration?

Back

Electron configuration is the distribution of electrons in an atom's orbitals, which determines its chemical properties.

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 is a covalent bond?

Back

A covalent bond is a type of chemical bond formed when two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons.

Front

What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonds?

Back

Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons and the formation of ions, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons.
