Ionic and Covalent Bonding

Front

What is the octet rule in chemistry?

Back

The octet rule states that atoms tend to form bonds in such a way that they have eight valence electrons, achieving a stable electron configuration.

What type of bond is formed between metals and nonmetals?

Back

Ionic bond.

Front

What is the chemical formula for sodium oxide?

Back

Na2O.

Front

How do ionic bonds form?

Back

Ionic bonds form when one atom donates an electron to another atom, resulting in the formation of positively and negatively charged ions that attract each other.

What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonds?

Back

Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms.

What is a covalent bond?

Back

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

What is the role of electronegativity in bond formation?

Back

Electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract and hold onto electrons; it influences whether a bond will be ionic or covalent.
