Front

Define Ionic Bonding.

Back

Ionic bonding is the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, typically formed when electrons are transferred from one atom to another.

Front

Define Covalent Bonding.

Back

Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms, allowing them to achieve stable electron configurations.

Front

What is an example of a molecule that contains a covalent bond?

Back

Water (H2O) is an example of a molecule with covalent bonds.

Front

What is the main difference between ionic and covalent bonds?

Back

Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons and the attraction between charged ions, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons.

Front

What is a common property of ionic compounds?

Back

Ionic compounds typically have high melting and boiling points and conduct electricity when dissolved in water.
