Types of Chemical Bonds Review

Front

Why do atoms form chemical bonds?

Back

Atoms form chemical bonds to achieve a full valence shell like noble gases (8).

What happens to the electrons in metallic bonding?

Back

In metallic bonding, electrons are delocalized and move freely among the metal atoms.

How will oxygen react if it has 6 valence electrons?

Back

Oxygen will gain 2 electrons to achieve a full valence shell.

Metallic bonds are formed between which types of elements?

Back

Metallic bonds are formed between metal + metal.

What is a covalent bond?

Back

A covalent bond is formed when two nonmetals share electrons.

What is an ionic bond?

Back

An ionic bond is formed when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, typically between metals and nonmetals.

What is the octet rule?

Back

The octet rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full outer shell of 8 electrons.

What is a polar covalent bond?

Back

A polar covalent bond is a type of bond where electrons are shared unequally between two atoms.

What is a nonpolar covalent bond?

Back

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