U04 Bonding Types

Front

What are ionic compounds known for?

Back

Ionic compounds are known for having high melting and boiling points due to the many strong bonds between their ions.

Front

What is the nature of ionic bonds?

Back

Ionic bonds are formed through the electrostatic attraction between positively and negatively charged ions.

Front

What is a metallic bond?

Back

A metallic bond is the attraction between positive metal ions and free-floating electrons.

Front

What property allows metals to be shaped without breaking?

Back

Malleability is the ability of a material to be shaped in all directions without cracking or breaking.

Front

How do covalent bonds form?

Back

Covalent bonds form by sharing valence electrons between atoms.

Front

What is the significance of valence electrons in bonding?

Back

Valence electrons are the outermost electrons that participate in chemical bonding.

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 heat energy in breaking ionic bonds?

Back

A large amount of heat energy is required to overcome the strong bonds in ionic compounds.

Front

What does ductility refer to in materials?

Back

Ductility is the ability of a material to be stretched into a wire without breaking.

Front

What is the structure of metallic bonds?

Back

Metallic bonds have a structure where positive metal ions are surrounded by a sea of delocalized electrons.
