Front

What is a chemical bond?

Back

A lasting attraction between atoms that enables the formation of chemical compounds.

Front

What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonds?

Back

Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons.

Front

What is a metallic bond?

Back

A bond formed by the attraction between positively charged metal ions and the electrons in a metal.

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 a Lewis Dot Structure used for?

Back

To represent the valence electrons of an atom and how they are involved in bonding.
