What is an ionic bond?

Back

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of charged ions.

Front

How are ionic bonds different from covalent bonds?

Back

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

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

Define an ion.

Back

An ion is a positively or negatively charged particle that results from the loss or gain of one or more electrons.

What is the purpose of metal plating?

Back

Metal plating is used for decorative purposes, to prevent rust and corrosion, and to enhance surface properties, but not primarily to make the metal stronger.

Front

What happens to electrons in an ionic bond?

Back

In an ionic bond, electrons are transferred from one atom to another.

Front

What is the main characteristic of covalent bonds?

Back

The main characteristic of covalent bonds is the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.

Front

What is a compound?

Back

A compound is a substance formed when two or more different elements are chemically bonded together.

Front

What is the difference between a molecule and a compound?

Back

A molecule is formed when two or more atoms bond together, while a compound specifically refers to a molecule that contains at least two different elements.

Front

What is the role of electrons in chemical bonding?

Back

Electrons play a crucial role in chemical bonding by being either shared or transferred between atoms to form bonds.
