Ionic, Covalent, & Metallic Bonds ( Warmup)

Front

What is an ionic bond?

Back

A chemical bond where electrons are permanently transferred from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of ions.

Front

What happens to an atom with 3 valence electrons when it wants a full shell?

Back

It is more likely to lose 3 electrons rather than gain 5.

Front

What is a metallic bond?

Back

A chemical bond characterized by an electrostatic force of attraction between cations and a sea of delocalized electrons.

Front

Can Magnesium and Sulfur form an ionic bond?

Back

True, they can form an ionic bond.

Front

What is an anion?

Back

An ion with a negative charge.

Front

What is a cation?

Back

An ion with a positive charge.

Front

What type of bond involves sharing electrons between atoms?

Back

Covalent bond.

Front

What is the main characteristic of ionic compounds?

Back

They typically form between metals and nonmetals and have high melting and boiling points.

Front

What is the octet rule?

Back

Atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full outer shell of eight electrons.

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.
