HC Types of Bonding

Front

What are the three main types of chemical bonding?

Back

Ionic, covalent, and metallic bonding.

Front

Define ionic bonding.

Back

Ionic bonding is the electrostatic attraction between positively and negatively charged ions, typically formed between metals and nonmetals.

Front

What is covalent bonding?

Back

Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms, usually between nonmetals.

Front

What is metallic bonding?

Back

Metallic bonding is the attraction between metal ions and delocalized electrons, allowing for conductivity and malleability.

Front

What type of bond is formed between two nonmetals?

Back

Covalent bond.

Front

What type of bond is formed between a metal and a nonmetal?

Back

Ionic bond.

Front

Which type of bonding typically has the highest melting point?

Back

Network covalent bonding.

Front

What is a characteristic of metallic bonds?

Back

They have delocalized electrons that are free to move, allowing metals to conduct electricity.

Front

Which type of compound is likely to be a gas at room temperature?

Back

Molecular covalent compounds.

Front

What is an example of a molecular covalent compound?

Back

H₂S (Hydrogen sulfide).
