Chemical Bonding test

Front

What is an ionic bond?

Back

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, typically formed when one atom donates an electron to another.

Front

What charge does an atom that loses electrons obtain in an ionic bond?

Back

Positive.

Front

What does H-H represent in a structural formula?

Back

A single covalent bond.

Front

What is an ion?

Back

An ion is an atom or molecule that has gained or lost one or more electrons, resulting in a net electrical charge.

Front

What kind of bond does O₂ have?

Back

Double covalent bond.

Front

What is a covalent bond?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonds?

Back

Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons and the attraction between charged ions, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms.

Front

What is a molecule?

Back

A molecule is a group of two or more atoms bonded together by covalent bonds.

Front

What is a chemical formula?

Back

A chemical formula is a way of expressing information about the proportions of atoms that constitute a particular chemical compound.

Front

What is a polar covalent bond?

Back

A polar covalent bond is a type of covalent bond where the electrons are shared unequally between the two atoms, resulting in a slight charge difference.
