What is a chemical bond?

A chemical bond is a force of attraction that holds atoms together.

It is a way to gain stability.

The group number tells us how many valence electrons the element has.

Multiple Choice

A force of attraction that holds atoms together is called

• Cations

• Magnetism

• Chemical Bond

• Thermal Energy

What is an Ionic Bond?

“Opposites attract”

Bonds between a metal and a nonmetal

One element “gives” its electron to another element

A CATION is created when an atom donates its electron (it becomes more positively charged)

An ANION is created when an atom receives an electron (it becomes more negatively charged)

Multiple Choice

What types of elements form Ionic Bonds?

• Metals and Metals

• Metals and Non Metals

• Non Metals

Multiple Choice

What type of chemical bond involves an element giving up or taking an electron?

• Covalent

• Metallic

• Ionic

Ionic Bond Properties

Ionic bonds have high melting and boiling points

Ionic bonds are brittle

Ionic bonds create 3D structures called Lattices

Multiple Choice

These types of structures are formed with Ionic Bonds

• Lattice

• Gas

• Plasma

• Particle Structure

What is a covalent bond?

Only between non-metals

A bond that involves sharing electron pairs between atoms

They share electron pairs to get a full valence electron shell

Can share 1/2/3 pairs to form a single/double/triple covalent bond

They have generally low melting and boiling points


In a polar bond, the charges are unequal. The charges are "pulled" apart.

In a non polar bond, the charges are equal. The charges are not being "pulled" apart.

Multiple Choice

Covalent bonds are formed between

• Non Metals Only

• Metals and Non Metals

• Metals only

• Anions and Cations

Multiple Choice

What is a valence electron?

• An electron on the inner shell used for chemical bonds

• A proton on the outer shell used for chemical bonds

• A neutron on the outer shell used for chemical bonds

• An electron on the outer shell used for chemical bonds

Multiple Choice

Covalent bonds have...

• High melting and boiling points

• Low melting and boiling points

Multiple Choice

In a non polar covalent bond

• Charges are equal between the two atoms

• Charges are unequal between the two atoms

• Charges are shared

• Charges are random

Multiple Choice

In a polar covalent bond

• The charges are unequally shared

• The charges are equally shared

• The charges are random

• The charges

Electronegativity

Valence electrons are electrons in the atom’s outermost shell that are involved in
bonding

Electronegativity is an atom’s ability to attract atoms. Elements with low
electronegativity have outer shells that are almost empty and give up their
electrons easily.

High electronegativity atoms attract electrons and have nearly full valence electron
shells.

Multiple Choice

What is electronegativity?

• How negative an element is

• An atom's ability to attract electrons

• An atom's ability to repel electrons

• An atom's electron count
