What type of bond is present in NaBr?

Back

Ionic

Front

Is hydrogen considered a metal, non-metal, or metalloid?

Back

Nonmetal

Front

Define a covalent bond.

Back

A covalent bond is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.

Front

What is a polar covalent bond?

Back

A polar covalent bond is a type of bond where the electrons are not shared equally between the two atoms.

Front

What is the main characteristic of ionic compounds?

Back

Ionic compounds are formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of ions.

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 the general state of molecular compounds at room temperature?

Back

Molecular compounds are often gases or liquids at room temperature.
