What type of bond is formed between a metal and a non-metal?

Back

Ionic bond

Front

What is the main characteristic of ionic bonds?

Back

Electrons are transferred from one atom to another.

Front

What do Lewis Dot Structures represent?

Back

The valence electrons of an atom.

Front

What is the octet rule?

Back

Atoms tend to bond in such a way that they have eight electrons in their valence shell.

Front

What is the difference between polar and non-polar covalent bonds?

Back

Polar covalent bonds share electrons unequally, while non-polar covalent bonds share electrons equally.
