8-1 Ionic / Covalent bonding

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, typically between a metal and a non-metal.

Front

What is a covalent bond?

Back

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

Front

What is the charge of a sodium ion with 11 protons and 10 electrons?

Back

1+

Front

What happens to a sodium atom when it loses its only valence electron?

Back

It becomes a sodium ion.

Front

What type of bond is formed between cobalt (Co) and fluorine (F)?

Back

Ionic bond.

Front

In a covalent bond, how are electrons treated?

Back

Electrons are shared between atoms.

Front

What are covalent compounds?

Back

Covalent compounds are substances formed when two or more non-metals share electrons.

Front

What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonds?

Back

Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons and the formation of charged ions, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons.

Front

What is a valence electron?

Back

A valence electron is an electron in the outermost shell of an atom that can participate in forming chemical bonds.

Front

What is the result of electron transfer in ionic bonding?

Back

The result is the formation of positively and negatively charged ions.
