Front

Define ionic bond.

Back

A bond formed between two ions with opposite charges.

Front

What is a covalent bond?

Back

A bond formed when two atoms share electrons.

What is the difference between polar and nonpolar covalent bonds?

Back

Polar covalent bonds have unequal sharing of electrons, while nonpolar covalent bonds have equal sharing.

Front

What is the role of a metal in ionic bonding?

Back

The metal loses electrons to form a positive ion.

Front

What is the role of a nonmetal in ionic bonding?

Back

The nonmetal gains electrons to form a negative ion.
