Bonding Test w/o VSEPR

Front

What is a metallic bond?

Back

A metallic bond is the attraction between positive metal ions and free floating electrons.

Front

What is a chemical bond?

Back

A chemical bond is the force that holds two atoms together.

Front

What are delocalized electrons?

Back

Delocalized electrons are electrons that are free to move in metals.

Front

What characterizes ionic compounds?

Back

Ionic compounds are formed of metals and nonmetals bonded together.

Front

How do electrons behave in metallic bonds?

Back

In metallic bonds, electrons move around the nuclei randomly.

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.

Front

What is an example of a metallic bond?

Back

An example of a metallic bond is the bond found in copper (Cu) or aluminum (Al).

Front

What is the significance of electronegativity in bonding?

Back

Electronegativity determines how strongly an atom attracts electrons in a bond.

Front

What is a covalent bond?

Back

A covalent bond is a chemical bond formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms.

Front

What is the octet rule?

Back

The octet rule states that atoms tend to bond in such a way that they have eight electrons in their valence shell.
