What is an Ionic Bond?

Back

A bond formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the attraction between oppositely charged ions.

Front

What is a Covalent Bond?

Back

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

Front

What are Valence Electrons?

Back

Electrons in the outermost shell of an atom that are involved in forming bonds.

Front

What is a Metallic Bond?

Back

A bond formed between metal atoms where electrons are shared in a 'sea' of electrons.

Front

What is the difference between Ionic and Covalent Bonds?

Back

Ionic bonds involve transfer of electrons, while covalent bonds involve sharing of electrons.
