What type of bond is formed between sulfur (S) and oxygen (O)?

Back

Covalent

Front

What are ionic bonds typically formed between?

Back

Metals and nonmetals

Covalent

Front

If an atom has 7 protons and 7 electrons, what is its charge?

Back

0 (neutral)

What type of bond forms between two nonmetals?

Back

Covalent

Front

Define a covalent bond.

Back

A covalent bond is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.

Front

What is an ionic bond?

Back

An ionic bond is a chemical bond formed between two ions with opposite charges, typically between a metal and a nonmetal.

Front

What is the significance of electronegativity in bond formation?

Back

Electronegativity determines how strongly an atom attracts electrons in a bond; it influences whether a bond will be ionic or covalent.

Front

What is the general rule for predicting bond types based on electronegativity differences?

Back

If the difference in electronegativity is greater than 1.7, the bond is typically ionic; if it is less than 1.7, it is usually covalent.

Front

What is a polar covalent bond?

Back

A polar covalent bond is a type of covalent bond where the electrons are not shared equally between the two atoms, resulting in partial charges.
