Front

What is the octet rule?

Back

The octet rule states that most elements need 8 valence electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.

Front

What type of bond is formed when two atoms share electrons equally?

Back

Nonpolar Covalent bond.

Front

What type of bond is characterized by the complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another?

Back

Ionic bond.

Front

What is the electronegativity difference that indicates an ionic bond?

Back

Greater than or equal to 1.67.

Front

Which element has the most stable electron configuration in the ground state?

Back

Neon (Ne).

Front

What is a polar covalent bond?

Back

A bond where electrons are shared unequally between two atoms with different electronegativities.

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

What is the significance of valence electrons in bonding?

Back

Valence electrons determine how an atom can bond with others and its chemical reactivity.

Front

What is a metallic bond?

Back

A bond formed by the attraction between positively charged metal ions and the electrons that are free to move around them.

Front

How many bonds are typically formed by carbon in organic compounds?

Back

Carbon typically forms 4 bonds.
