Front

Define ionic bond.

Back

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

Front

What are the typical properties of ionic compounds?

Back

High melting and boiling points, electrical conductivity when dissolved in water, and brittleness.

Front

What is the role of electrons in ionic bonding?

Back

Electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of positively and negatively charged ions.

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.
