Final Unit 3: Types of Chemical Bonds & Names & Formulas

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 the formula for beryllium chloride?

Back

The formula for beryllium chloride is BeCl₂.

Front

What type of bond is characterized by the sharing of electron pairs between atoms?

Back

Covalent bond.

Front

What is the melting point characteristic of ionic compounds?

Back

Ionic compounds generally have high melting points due to the strong electrostatic forces between the ions.

Front

What is the formula for magnesium oxide?

Back

The formula for magnesium oxide is MgO.

Front

What type of bond is often flammable?

Back

Polar covalent bonds are often flammable.

Front

What does the law of electric charges state?

Back

The law of electric charges states that like charges repel each other, while opposite charges attract.

Front

What is a polar covalent bond?

Back

A polar covalent bond is a type of covalent bond where the electrons are not shared equally between the two atoms, leading to a slight charge difference.

Front

What is a non-polar covalent bond?

Back

A non-polar covalent bond is a type of bond where electrons are shared equally between two atoms, resulting in no charge difference.

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.
