Front

Define ionic bonding.

Back

Ionic bonding is the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.

Front

What is a metallic bond?

Back

A metallic bond is the attraction between metal ions and delocalised electrons.

Front

What is the significance of valence electrons in bonding?

Back

Valence electrons are involved in forming bonds between atoms.

Front

How do ionic compounds typically behave in water?

Back

Ionic compounds usually dissolve in water and conduct electricity when dissolved.

Front

What is the octet rule?

Back

The octet rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full outer shell of eight electrons.
