FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the Octet Rule?

Back

The Octet Rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons in order to have eight electrons in their valence shell, achieving a stable electron configuration.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What happens in a polar covalent bond?

Back

In a polar covalent bond, the electrons are shared unequally between two atoms, with the electrons being attracted more towards the atom with the greater electronegativity.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What type of bond forms between metals and nonmetals?

Back

Ionic Bonds form between metals and nonmetals, where electrons are transferred from one atom to another.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How are electrons shared in an ionic bond?

Back

In an ionic bond, electrons are not shared; instead, they are completely transferred from one atom to another.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What occurs in a nonpolar covalent bond?

Back

In a nonpolar covalent bond, the electrons are shared equally between the two atoms.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Define electronegativity.

Back

Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the difference between polar and nonpolar covalent bonds?

Back

Polar covalent bonds involve unequal sharing of electrons, while nonpolar covalent bonds involve equal sharing of electrons.
