Front

What is a covalent bond?

Back

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

Front

What is an ionic bond?

Back

An ionic bond is formed when one atom transfers electrons to another atom, resulting in the formation of positive and negative ions.

Front

What are valence electrons?

Back

Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom that are involved in chemical bonding.

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.

Front

What is the difference between a polar and nonpolar covalent bond?

Back

A polar covalent bond has unequal sharing of electrons, while a nonpolar covalent bond has equal sharing of electrons.
