Front

What is the definition of an ionic bond?

Back

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that occurs when one atom transfers electrons to another atom, resulting in the formation of charged ions.

Front

What is the octet rule?

Back

The octet rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons in order to have eight electrons in their valence shell, achieving a stable electron configuration.

Front

What is the difference between a covalent bond and an ionic bond?

Back

A covalent bond involves the sharing of electrons between atoms, while an ionic bond involves the transfer of electrons from one atom to another.

Front

What is the significance of the periodic table in chemistry?

Back

The periodic table organizes elements based on their atomic number, electron configuration, and recurring chemical properties, allowing for predictions about element behavior.

Front

What is the role of valence electrons in chemical bonding?

Back

Valence electrons are the outermost electrons of an atom and are involved in forming bonds with other atoms.
