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 nonmetals share electrons to achieve a full outer shell.

Front

What happens to electrons in an ionic bond?

Back

In an ionic bond, the metal atom donates one or more electrons to the nonmetal atom, resulting in the formation of charged ions.

Front

What happens to electrons in a covalent bond?

Back

In a covalent bond, electrons are shared between two nonmetal atoms.

Front

What is the charge of Na in NaCl?

Back

Na has a charge of +1 in NaCl because it loses one electron.

Front

What is the charge of Cl in NaCl?

Back

Cl has a charge of -1 in NaCl because it gains one electron.

Front

Why does CO2 not have a charge?

Back

CO2 does not have a charge because the nonmetals (C and O) share electrons equally.

Front

What type of bond is formed between two nonmetals?

Back

A covalent bond is formed between two nonmetals.
