Ionic and covalent bonds

Front

What does the octet rule state?

Back

Elements tend to have 8 electrons in their outermost shell because that makes them more stable.

Front

What is ionic bonding?

Back

Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons between atoms.

Front

Which part of the atom is responsible for forming bonds?

Back

Electrons.

Front

What type of bond is present in NH3?

Back

Covalent Bond.

Front

What type of bond would form between lithium (Li) and oxygen (O)?

Back

Ionic.

Front

Define ionic bond.

Back

A chemical bond formed through the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.

Front

Define covalent bond.

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonds?

Back

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

Front

What is a polar covalent bond?

Back

A type of covalent bond where electrons are shared unequally between atoms, resulting in a molecule with a slight charge.

Front

What is a non-polar covalent bond?

Back

A type of covalent bond where electrons are shared equally between atoms, resulting in no charge.
