Ionic AND Covalent Bonding

Front

What is a valence electron?

Back

The number of electrons in the outermost shell of an atom.

Front

Where are the nonmetals located on the periodic table?

Back

Nonmetals are typically found on the right side of the periodic table.

Front

How many valence electrons should Magnesium have in its Lewis dot model?

Back

Magnesium has 2 valence electrons.

Front

What type of bond involves the transfer of valence electrons?

Back

Ionic bonds involve the transfer of valence electrons.

Front

What type of bond involves the sharing of valence electrons?

Back

Covalent bonds involve the sharing of valence electrons.

Front

What is an ionic bond?

Back

An ionic bond is a chemical bond formed between two ions with opposite charges.

Front

What is a covalent bond?

Back

A covalent bond is a chemical bond formed when two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons.

Front

What is the octet rule?

Back

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

Front

What are the properties of ionic compounds?

Back

Ionic compounds typically have high melting and boiling points, are soluble in water, and conduct electricity when dissolved.

Front

What are the properties of covalent compounds?

Back

Covalent compounds usually have lower melting and boiling points, are not soluble in water, and do not conduct electricity.
