Unit 6 Chemical Bonding Review Game

Front

How are ionic bonds formed?

Back

Ionic bonds are formed through the transfer of electrons from one atom to another.

Front

What type of melting point do molecular compounds have?

Back

Molecular compounds have a low melting point due to the weak forces between molecules.

Front

How are covalent bonds formed?

Back

Covalent bonds are formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms.

Front

What are atoms that gain or lose electrons called?

Back

Atoms that gain or lose electrons are called ions.

Front

What are ions made of more than one atom called?

Back

Ions that are made of more than one atom are called polyatomic ions.

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 a characteristic of ionic compounds?

Back

Ionic compounds typically have high melting and boiling points.

Front

What is a characteristic of covalent compounds?

Back

Covalent compounds usually have lower melting and boiling points compared to ionic compounds.

Front

What is an example of a polyatomic ion?

Back

An example of a polyatomic ion is sulfate (SO4^2-).

Front

What is the role of electrons in chemical bonding?

Back

Electrons are involved in forming bonds between atoms, either by being transferred or shared.
