Define covalent bond.

Back

A covalent bond is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.

Front

What is the octet rule?

Back

The octet rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full set of eight valence electrons.

What are transition elements?

Back

Transition elements are metallic elements that have partially filled d orbitals and can form variable oxidation states.

Front

Explain the concept of electronegativity.

Back

Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons.

Front

What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonds?

Back

Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons.
