LG05 - Particle View Diagrams Review

Front

When atoms share valence electrons, a __________ bond is formed.

Back

Covalent bond: A type of chemical bond where two atoms share one or more pairs of valence electrons.

Front

What type of compound is formed when metal atoms bond with non-metal atoms?

Back

Ionic compound: A compound formed through the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, typically between metals and non-metals.

Front

What type of bond involves the transfer of electrons from one atom to another?

Back

Ionic bond: A bond formed when one atom donates electrons to another, resulting in the formation of charged ions.

Front

What type of bond is characterized by a 'sea of electrons'?

Back

Metallic bond: A bond formed between metal atoms where electrons are shared and can move freely, allowing for conductivity.

Front

Which type of compound is typically formed between two non-metals?

Back

Covalent compound: A compound formed when two non-metal atoms share electrons.

Front

What is the main characteristic of metallic compounds?

Back

Metallic compounds conduct electricity and heat due to the mobility of their delocalized electrons.

Front

Which substance would become conductive when dissolved in water?

Back

Ionic compounds: They dissociate into ions in water, allowing them to conduct electricity.

Front

What is the difference between a covalent bond and an ionic bond?

Back

Covalent bonds involve sharing electrons, while ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons.

Front

What type of bond is formed between atoms of the same element?

Back

Covalent bond: Atoms of the same element share electrons equally.

Front

What is an example of a metallic compound?

Back

Copper (Cu): A common metallic element used in electrical wiring.
