Chemical Bonding and Nonmenclature

Front

What happens when magnesium loses 2 electrons?

Back

It becomes positively charged.

Front

Which statement about covalent bonds is true?

Back

Covalent bonds are usually weaker than ionic bonds because they do not have positive and negative charged elements, instead they share electrons to fill the outer shell.

Front

The chemical bond that forms when electrons are shared is called:

Back

Covalent bond.

Front

What type of bond is located in a pickle that allows it to conduct electricity?

Back

Ionic bond.

Front

What is the chemical formula for Phosphorous trichloride?

Back

PCl₃.

Front

Define ionic bond.

Back

A type of chemical bond formed through the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.

Front

Define covalent bond.

Back

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

Front

What is the main difference between ionic and covalent bonds?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of the octet rule in chemical bonding?

Back

Atoms tend to bond in a way that allows them to have eight electrons in their outer shell, achieving stability.

Front

What is a metallic bond?

Back

A type of bond found in metals where electrons are shared in a 'sea of electrons' allowing for conductivity and malleability.
