What is a metallic compound?

Back

A metallic compound is formed from metal atoms that share electrons, resulting in a structure that conducts electricity and heat well.

Front

What is a covalent compound?

Back

A covalent compound is formed when two or more non-metal atoms share electrons, resulting in a stable molecule.

Front

What is an ionic compound?

Back

An ionic compound is formed when metal atoms transfer electrons to non-metal atoms, creating charged ions that attract each other.

Front

What type of bond is present in metallic compounds?

Back

Metallic bonds, characterized by a 'sea of electrons' that are free to move around.

Front

What type of bond is present in covalent compounds?

Back

Covalent bonds, formed by the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.

Front

What type of bond is present in ionic compounds?

Back

Ionic bonds, formed by the electrostatic attraction between positively and negatively charged ions.
