Unit 4 Chemical Bonding

Front

What is ionic bonding?

Back

Ionic bonding is a type of chemical bond that occurs when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of charged ions that attract each other.

Front

What type of bond is formed between two non-metals?

Back

Covalent bond.

Front

How many valence electrons does oxygen have?

Back

Oxygen has 6 valence electrons.

Front

What is a property of metals?

Back

Metals are malleable, meaning they can be hammered or rolled into thin sheets.

Front

What is a chemical formula?

Back

A chemical formula tells what elements a compound contains and the exact number of atoms for each of those elements.

Front

What is covalent bonding?

Back

Covalent bonding is a type of chemical bond where two non-metal atoms share one or more pairs of electrons.

Front

What are valence electrons?

Back

Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom that are involved in forming bonds.

Front

What is the octet rule?

Back

The octet rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full outer shell of eight electrons.

Front

What is metallic bonding?

Back

Metallic bonding is a type of chemical bonding that occurs between metal atoms, characterized by a 'sea of electrons' that are free to move.

Front

What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonds?

Back

Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons and the attraction between charged ions, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms.
