What does it mean for a molecule to be polar?

Back

A polar molecule has a partial positive charge on one side and a partial negative charge on the other due to unequal sharing of electrons.

Front

What is a chemical formula?

Back

A chemical formula is a way of expressing information about the proportions of atoms that constitute a particular chemical compound.

Front

What is conductivity in metals?

Back

Conductivity is a metal's ability to allow heat and electricity to flow through it.

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.

Front

What is a metallic bond?

Back

A metallic bond is a type of chemical bond that occurs between metal atoms, characterized by a 'sea of electrons' that are free to move.

Front

What is an alloy?

Back

An alloy is a mixture of two or more elements, where at least one is a metal, designed to enhance certain properties.

Front

What is malleability?

Back

Malleability is the ability of a material, usually a metal, to be deformed or shaped under compressive stress.

Front

What is ductility?

Back

Ductility is the ability of a material to stretch or deform under tensile stress, often measured by the material's ability to be drawn into a wire.
