Front

Sodium and Bromine will make a _____ bond.

Back

Ionic

Front

The sharing of valence electrons between two or more atoms is a _______ bond.

Back

Covalent

Front

What type of bonding can be described as having a structure of a 'sea of electrons'?

Back

Metallic

Front

Why do all bonds form?

Back

So that all atoms can reach stability.

Front

NaCl will create what type of bond?

Back

Ionic

Front

What is an ionic bond?

Back

A bond formed through the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in oppositely charged ions.

Front

What is a covalent bond?

Back

A bond formed when two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons.

Front

What is a metallic bond?

Back

A bond formed by the attraction between positively charged metal ions and the electrons in a 'sea' around them.

Front

What is the octet rule?

Back

Atoms tend to bond in a way that gives them eight valence electrons, achieving stability.

Front

What is a valence electron?

Back

An electron in the outermost shell of an atom that is involved in forming bonds.
