Chp. 6 Test Review Chemical Bonding - Chemistry I

Front

What is a Lewis Structure?

Back

A Lewis Structure is a diagram that shows the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule.

Front

What is a covalent bond?

Back

A covalent bond is a type of chemical bond where pairs of electrons are shared between two nonmetal atoms.

Front

How many valence electrons does Oxygen have?

Back

Oxygen has 6 valence electrons.

Front

What is an ion?

Back

An ion is an atom or molecule that has a net electrical charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons.

Front

What is an ionic bond?

Back

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the attraction between oppositely charged ions.

Front

What is electronegativity?

Back

Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons.

Front

What is the octet rule?

Back

The octet rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons in order to have a full set of eight valence electrons.

Front

What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonds?

Back

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

Front

What is a molecule?

Back

A molecule is a group of two or more atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound.

Front

What is a nonmetal?

Back

Nonmetals are elements that typically lack the characteristics of metals and are found on the right side of the periodic table.
