Chemical Bonds

Front

What is a covalent bond?

Back

A covalent bond is a chemical bond formed when two atoms share electrons.

Front

What type of covalent bond shares two electrons?

Back

A double bond.

Front

Why do elements bond?

Back

Elements bond to become stable.

Front

How is an ionic bond formed?

Back

An ionic bond is formed when valence electrons are transferred between atoms.

Front

What do atoms form compounds to achieve?

Back

Atoms form compounds to become more stable.

Front

What is an ionic bond?

Back

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.

Front

What is a metallic bond?

Back

A metallic bond is a type of chemical bond that occurs between metal atoms, characterized by a sea of delocalized electrons.

Front

What are valence electrons?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between a single bond and a double bond?

Back

A single bond involves the sharing of one pair of electrons, while a double bond involves the sharing of two pairs of electrons.

Front

What is the octet rule?

Back

The octet rule states that atoms tend to bond in such a way that they have eight electrons in their valence shell, achieving stability.
