Bonding

Front

What is an Ionic Bond?

Back

An Ionic Bond is a type of chemical bond formed through the transfer of valence electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of charged ions.

Front

What is a Covalent Bond?

Back

A Covalent Bond is a type of chemical bond where two atoms share one or more pairs of valence electrons.

Front

What type of bond occurs between nonmetals?

Back

Covalent Bonds occur between nonmetals.

Front

What is the chemical formula for water (H2O)?

Back

Water (H2O) is formed by a Covalent Bond between hydrogen and oxygen.

Front

What happens to valence electrons in an Ionic Bond?

Back

In an Ionic Bond, valence electrons are transferred from one atom to another.

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

Can you give an example of a molecule formed by a Covalent Bond?

Back

An example of a molecule formed by a Covalent Bond is carbon dioxide (CO2).

Front

What is a Hydrogen Bond?

Back

A Hydrogen Bond is a weak attraction between a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to an electronegative atom and another electronegative atom.

Front

What is the significance of valence electrons in bonding?

Back

Valence electrons determine how atoms bond with each other, influencing the type of bond formed.

Front

What is a molecule?

Back

A molecule is a group of two or more atoms bonded together, which can be either covalent or ionic.
