What is Ionic Bonding?

Back

Ionic bonding is a type of chemical bond that occurs when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of positively and negatively charged ions that attract each other.

What are Valence Electrons?

Back

Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom that are involved in forming bonds with other atoms.

What is a Metallic Bond?

Back

A metallic bond is a type of bond in which positively charged ions exist in a 'sea' of freely moving electrons, allowing for conductivity and malleability.

What is a Covalent Bond?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between Ionic and Covalent Bonds?

Back

Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons and the attraction between charged ions, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms.

Front

What is the role of Electronegativity in bonding?

Back

Electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract and hold onto electrons; it influences whether a bond will be ionic or covalent.

Front

What is a Polyatomic Ion?

Back

A polyatomic ion is a charged species composed of two or more atoms covalently bonded together, which can act as a single unit in chemical reactions.
