Front

What happens to electrons in an ionic bond?

Back

Electrons are transferred from one atom to another.

Front

What happens to electrons in a covalent bond?

Back

Electrons are shared between atoms.

Front

What is the primary characteristic of ionic compounds?

Back

They typically form crystalline structures and have high melting points.

Front

What is the primary characteristic of covalent compounds?

Back

They usually have lower melting and boiling points compared to ionic compounds.

Front

What is a valence electron?

Back

A valence electron is an electron in the outermost shell of an atom that can participate in forming bonds.

Front

How many valence electrons does oxygen have?

Back

6 valence electrons.

Front

What is the octet rule?

Back

Atoms tend to bond in such a way that they have eight electrons in their valence shell.

Front

What is a polar covalent bond?

Back

A bond where electrons are shared unequally between two atoms, resulting in a partial charge.
