What is a covalent bond?

Back

A chemical bond formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms.

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.

What is a Lewis dot structure?

Back

A diagram that shows the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the lone pairs of electrons.

Front

What is the octet rule?

Back

Atoms tend to bond in such a way that they have eight electrons in their valence shell.
