Back

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

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.

Front

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 type of compound is formed when atoms share electrons?

Back

Covalent compound.

Front

What type of compound is formed when electrons are transferred from one atom to another?

Back

Ionic compound.

Front

What is the main characteristic of metallic compounds?

Back

They have high electrical and thermal conductivity due to the mobility of electrons.
