Unit 3 Ionic Bonding Metallic Bonding

Front

What is Metallic Bonding?

Back

Metallic bonding is a type of chemical bonding that occurs between metal atoms, characterized by a 'sea of electrons' that are free to move around, allowing metals to conduct electricity and heat.

What is Ionic Bonding?

Back

Ionic bonding is a type of chemical bond formed through the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, typically formed when one atom transfers electrons to another.

Where are nonmetals located on the periodic table?

Back

Nonmetals are located on the right side of the periodic table, often highlighted in red.

Where are metals located on the periodic table?

Back

Metals are located on the left side and in the center of the periodic table, often highlighted in blue.

Front

What is a covalent bond?

Back

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

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, leading to greater stability.

Front

What is an ion?

Back

An ion is an atom or molecule that has gained or lost one or more electrons, resulting in a net electrical charge.

Front

What is the difference between cations and anions?

Back

Cations are positively charged ions formed by the loss of electrons, while anions are negatively charged ions formed by the gain of electrons.

Front

What is the role of valence electrons in bonding?

Back

Valence electrons are the outermost electrons of an atom and are involved in forming bonds with other atoms.
