What is a metallic bond?

Back

A metallic bond is a type of chemical bond that occurs between metal atoms, characterized by a 'sea of electrons' that are free to move.

Front

What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonds?

Back

Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons.

Front

What is the octet rule?

Back

The octet rule states that atoms tend to bond in such a way that they have eight electrons in their valence shell, achieving a stable electron configuration.

Front

What is a molecule?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of electronegativity in covalent bonding?

Back

Electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract shared electrons in a bond; it influences bond polarity.
