CB Flashcardizz - Types of Bonds with conductivity 1.0

Front

What is an ionic bond?

Back

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, typically between a metal and a nonmetal.

Front

What is conductivity in solutions?

Back

Conductivity is the ability of a solution to conduct electricity, which depends on the presence of ions in the solution.

Front

Which type of bond conducts electricity when dissolved in water?

Back

Ionic bonds conduct electricity when dissolved in water.

Front

What is the effect of solute concentration on conductivity?

Back

Higher concentrations of ionic solutes in a solution generally lead to higher conductivity.

Front

What happens to ionic compounds when they dissolve in water?

Back

Ionic compounds dissociate into their constituent ions when dissolved in water, allowing the solution to conduct electricity.

Front

What is a polar covalent bond?

Back

A polar covalent bond is a type of bond where electrons are shared unevenly between two atoms, resulting in partial positive and negative charges.

Front

What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonds?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of melting points in ionic compounds?

Back

Ionic compounds typically have high melting points due to the strong electrostatic forces between the ions.

Front

What is the role of metals in ionic bonding?

Back

Metals lose electrons to form positive ions, which then attract nonmetals that gain electrons to form negative ions.

Front

How does the ionic character of a bond relate to electronegativity?

Back

The greater the difference in electronegativity between two atoms, the more ionic character the bond will have.
