Ionic, Covalent and Metallic Bonding/Naming

Front

What is a lone pair?

Back

A pair of non-bonding electrons.

Front

Back

Nitrogen dioxide.

Front

What is the molecular shape of H2O?

Front

Identify the type of compound SO2: metallic, ionic, or covalent.

Back

Covalent.

Front

Why don't noble gases form bonds?

Back

They all have a full octet.

Front

What is ionic bonding?

Back

A type of chemical bond formed through the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.

Front

What is covalent bonding?

Back

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

Front

What is metallic bonding?

Back

A type of bonding that occurs in metals, characterized by a sea of delocalized electrons around positively charged metal ions.

Front

What is the octet rule?

Back

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 polar covalent bond?

Back

A covalent bond in which the electrons are not shared equally between the two atoms, resulting in a slight charge difference.
