Naming Ionic & Covalent Bonds

Front

If I gain electrons I become

Back

negative because I've added electrons.

Front

What two types of atoms make a covalent bond?

Back

2 non-metals.

What is the formula for hexaboron monosilicide?

Back

B₆Si.

Front

When naming a compound, what must the last part be?

Back

the element with 'ide' at the end, unless it's a polyatomic ion.

Front

In chemical compounds, covalent bonds form when

Back

pairs of electrons are shared between two non-metal atoms.

Front

What is an ionic bond?

Back

A bond formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the attraction between oppositely charged ions.

Front

What is a covalent bond?

Back

A bond formed when two non-metal atoms share pairs of electrons.

Front

What is electronegativity?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between ionic and covalent compounds?

Back

Ionic compounds are formed from metals and non-metals and involve electron transfer, while covalent compounds are formed from non-metals and involve electron sharing.

Front

What is a polyatomic ion?

Back

An ion composed of two or more atoms that are covalently bonded, which carry a charge.
