Ionic or Covalent?

Front

What is an ionic bond?

Back

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, typically between a metal and a nonmetal.

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, usually between nonmetals.

Front

What is the difference between ionic and covalent compounds?

Back

Ionic compounds are formed from the transfer of electrons from metals to nonmetals, resulting in charged ions, while covalent compounds are formed by the sharing of electrons between nonmetals.

Front

What is a chemical bond?

Back

A chemical bond is the force that holds atoms together in a compound.

Front

How do metals and nonmetals interact in ionic bonding?

Back

In ionic bonding, metals give away electrons to nonmetals, resulting in the formation of positive and negative ions.
