Ionic, Covalent & Metallic Bonding

Front

What is Ionic Bonding?

Back

Ionic bonding is the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, typically formed when an electron is transferred from one atom to another.

Front

What is Covalent Bonding?

Back

Covalent bonding is the sharing of electron pairs between atoms, which allows each atom to attain the electron configuration of a noble gas.

Front

What is Metallic Bonding?

Back

Metallic bonding is the attraction between metal ions and delocalized electrons, allowing metals to conduct electricity and heat.

Nonpolar covalent bond.

Front

What is a Nonpolar Covalent Bond?

Back

A nonpolar covalent bond is a type of bond where two atoms share electrons equally, resulting in no charge separation.

Front

What is a Polar Covalent Bond?

Back

A polar covalent bond is a type of bond where two atoms share electrons unequally, leading to a partial positive and negative charge.
