What does VSEPR theory predict about the shape of the hydrogen chloride molecule (HCl)?

Back

linear

Front

What type of bond is formed from the electrostatic attraction between positive and negative ions?

Back

ionic bond

Front

In the electron sea model of a metallic bond, what is true about the electrons?

Back

Mobile electrons are shared by all atoms.

Front

Define a covalent bond.

Back

A covalent bond is formed when two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons.

Front

What is the octet rule?

Back

The octet rule states that atoms tend to form bonds in such a way that they have eight electrons in their valence shell.

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.

Front

What is a metallic bond?

Back

A metallic bond is the force of attraction between valence electrons and the metal ions in a metallic structure.

Front

What is the significance of electronegativity in bonding?

Back

Electronegativity determines how strongly an atom attracts electrons in a bond.
