Chemical Bonding test

Front

What happens to electrons in ionic bonding?

Back

They are transferred from one atom to another.

Front

What charge does an atom acquire when it gains an electron?

Back

It becomes negatively charged.

Front

How are electrons shared in a covalent bond?

Back

Electrons are shared equally between atoms.

Front

What type of bond involves the transfer of electrons?

Back

Ionic bond.

Front

Why do atoms form covalent bonds?

Back

To achieve a full outer electron shell.

Front

What is an ionic bond?

Back

A bond formed through the transfer of electrons between atoms, resulting in the attraction between positively and negatively charged ions.

Front

What is a covalent bond?

Back

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

Front

What is the result of an atom losing an electron?

Back

It becomes positively charged.

Front

What is the octet rule?

Back

Atoms tend to form bonds in such a way that they have eight electrons in their outer shell.

Front

What is a molecule?

Back

A group of two or more atoms bonded together, typically through covalent bonds.
