Chemical Bonding Test Review

Front

Involves positive and negative ions

Back

Ionic Bonding: A type of chemical bond that occurs between positively and negatively charged ions.

Front

This atom will become an ion with a ____________ charge.

Back

Positive Charge: Atoms that lose electrons become positively charged ions (cations).

Front

The strongest type of bond

Back

Ionic Bond: Ionic bonds are generally stronger than covalent and metallic bonds due to the strong electrostatic forces between ions.

Front

PBr3

Back

Phosphorus Tribromide: A chemical compound consisting of one phosphorus atom and three bromine atoms.

Front

Covalent bond in which a single pair of electrons is shared between two atoms

Back

Single Covalent Bond: A bond formed when two atoms share one pair of electrons.

Front

What type of bond is formed when electrons are shared equally between two atoms?

Back

Nonpolar Covalent Bond: A type of covalent bond where the electrons are shared equally.

Front

What type of bond is formed when electrons are shared unequally?

Back

Polar Covalent Bond: A type of covalent bond where the electrons are shared unequally, resulting in partial charges.

Front

What is the charge of a sodium ion (Na+)?

Back

Positive Charge: Sodium loses one electron to form a Na+ ion.

Front

What is the charge of a chloride ion (Cl-)?

Back

Negative Charge: Chlorine gains one electron to form a Cl- ion.

Front

What type of bond involves the transfer of electrons?

Back

Ionic Bond: In ionic bonding, electrons are transferred from one atom to another.
