Unit 6 Test Review

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.

Front

Which types of elements typically form covalent bonds?

Back

Covalent bonds typically occur between non-metal elements.

Front

What is an ionic bond?

Back

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.

Front

Which types of elements typically form ionic bonds?

Back

Ionic bonds typically occur between metals and non-metals.

Front

How many covalent bonds are formed in a water molecule?

Back

Two covalent bonds are formed in a water molecule.

Front

What is the electron dot structure?

Back

The electron dot structure, or Lewis dot structure, represents the valence electrons of an atom as dots around the element's symbol.

Front

What is a diatomic molecule?

Back

A diatomic molecule is a molecule composed of only two atoms, which can be of the same or different chemical elements.

Front

What is a triple bond?

Back

A triple bond is a type of covalent bond where three pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms.

Front

How do you determine the number of bonds an atom can form?

Back

The number of bonds an atom can form is determined by the number of unpaired electrons in its valence shell.

Front

What is the significance of the octet rule in bonding?

Back

The octet rule states that atoms tend to form bonds in such a way that they have eight electrons in their valence shell, achieving a stable electron configuration.
