Ionic AND Covalent Bonding

Front

What is an ionic bond?

Back

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that occurs between a metal and a non-metal, where electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of charged ions.

Front

What is a covalent bond?

Back

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

Front

What type of elements typically form ionic bonds?

Back

Ionic bonds typically form between metals and non-metals.

Front

What type of elements typically form covalent bonds?

Back

Covalent bonds typically form between non-metal elements.

Front

What is the result of an ionic bond?

Back

The result of an ionic bond is the formation of positively and negatively charged ions that attract each other.

What is the formula for ammonia?

Back

The formula for ammonia is NH₃.

Front

What is the formula for sodium chloride?

Back

The formula for sodium chloride is NaCl.

Front

How do you determine if a bond is ionic or covalent?

Back

To determine if a bond is ionic or covalent, consider the types of elements involved: ionic bonds form between metals and non-metals, while covalent bonds form between non-metals.

Front

What is the charge of a sodium ion?

Back

The charge of a sodium ion (Na⁺) is +1.

Front

What is the charge of a chloride ion?

Back

The charge of a chloride ion (Cl⁻) is -1.
