Define ionic bonding.

Back

Ionic bonding is the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.

Front

What is a cation?

Back

A cation is a positively charged ion formed by losing electrons.

Front

What is an anion?

Back

An anion is a negatively charged ion formed by gaining 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 set of eight valence electrons.

Front

What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonds?

Back

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