Ionic or Covalent??

Front

What is an Ionic Bond?

Back

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that occurs when one atom transfers electrons to another atom, resulting in the formation of charged ions that attract each other.

Front

What is a Covalent Bond?

Back

A covalent bond is a type of chemical bond where two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons.

Example of an Ionic Compound: NaClO4

Back

NaClO4 (Sodium Perchlorate) is an example of an ionic compound formed from sodium ions (Na+) and perchlorate ions (ClO4-).

Front

Example of a Covalent Compound: P2O3

Back

P2O3 (Diphosphorus Trioxide) is an example of a covalent compound formed by sharing electrons between phosphorus and oxygen atoms.

Front

What is the difference between Ionic and Covalent Bonds?

Back

Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons and the formation of ions, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms.

Front

What type of bond is formed in CH4?

Back

CH4 (Methane) is formed by covalent bonds between carbon and hydrogen atoms.

Front

What type of bond is formed in Al2O3?

Back

Al2O3 (Aluminum Oxide) is formed by ionic bonds between aluminum ions (Al3+) and oxide ions (O2-).

Front

What is the significance of electronegativity in bonding?

Back

Electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract electrons. It helps determine whether a bond will be ionic or covalent.

Front

What is a polar covalent bond?

Back

A polar covalent bond is a type of covalent bond where the electrons are shared unequally between the two atoms, resulting in a slight charge difference.

Front

What is a nonpolar covalent bond?

Back

A nonpolar covalent bond is a type of covalent bond where the electrons are shared equally between the two atoms.
