ALC 2024-5 Bonding Test Review

Front

What is Ionic Bonding?

Back

Ionic Bonding is the transfer of valence electrons resulting in the formation of oppositely charged ions.

Front

What is a Cation?

Back

A Cation is a positively charged ion that forms when a metal loses one or more valence electrons.

Front

What is the strongest type of Intermolecular Force (IMF)?

Back

Hydrogen bonding is the strongest type of IMF, commonly found in compounds like water (HOH).

Front

How is bond polarity determined?

Back

The polarity of a bond is determined by the difference in the electronegativities of the two atoms involved.

Front

What is the weakest type of Intermolecular Force (IMF)?

Back

London dispersion forces are the weakest type of IMF, typically found in nonpolar molecules.

Front

What is a Nonpolar Covalent Bond?

Back

A Nonpolar Covalent Bond is a type of bond where electrons are shared equally between two atoms with similar electronegativities.

Front

What is a Polar Covalent Bond?

Back

A Polar Covalent Bond is a type of bond where electrons are shared unequally between two atoms with different electronegativities.

Front

What is Electronegativity?

Back

Electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract and hold onto electrons in a bond.

Front

What is the Octet Rule?

Back

The Octet Rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full outer shell of eight electrons.

Front

What is a Metallic Bond?

Back

A Metallic Bond is a type of bond formed by the attraction between positively charged metal ions and the delocalized electrons surrounding them.
