Front

Define ionic bond.

Back

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged 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 role of valence electrons in bonding?

Back

Valence electrons are involved in the formation of bonds between atoms.

Front

What is a metallic bond?

Back

A metallic bond is a type of bond that occurs between metal atoms, characterized by a 'sea of electrons' that are free to move.

Front

How do you determine the type of bond formed between two elements?

Back

The type of bond can be determined by the difference in electronegativity between the two elements.
