Ionic and covalent bonds

Front

What is Ionic Bonding?

Back

Ionic Bonding involves the transfer of electrons between atoms, resulting in the formation of charged ions that attract each other.

Front

What type of bond forms between Lithium (Li) and Oxygen (O)?

Back

Ionic bond.

Front

What type of bond is represented by Cl2?

Back

Covalent bond.

Front

Where are valence electrons located in an atom?

Back

In the outermost energy levels of an atom.

Front

What is more likely for an atom with 1 valence electron that needs a full shell?

Back

It is more likely to lose 1 electron.

Front

Define a covalent bond.

Back

A covalent bond is formed when two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons.

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 the difference between ionic and covalent bonds?

Back

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

Front

What are valence electrons?

Back

Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom that are involved in forming bonds.

Front

What happens to an atom when it loses an electron?

Back

It becomes a positively charged ion (cation).
