What is a non-polar covalent bond?

Back

A non-polar covalent bond is a type of bond where electrons are shared equally between two atoms.

According to Rutherford, what takes up all of the space of the atom?

Back

The electron cloud takes up all of the space of the atom according to Rutherford.

Front

What is an electrostatic lattice?

Back

An electrostatic lattice is a structure formed by the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.

Front

What type of bond involves the transfer of electrons?

Back

An ionic bond involves the transfer of electrons.

Front

What type of bond involves the sharing of electrons?

Back

A covalent bond involves the sharing of electrons.

Front

What is the main characteristic of metallic bonds?

Back

Metallic bonds are characterized by a 'sea of electrons' that are free to move around.

Front

What is the significance of valence electrons in chemical bonding?

Back

Valence electrons are important because they are involved in forming bonds between atoms.

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.
