Ionic AND Covalent Bonding

Front

Where are metals located on the periodic table?

Back

Metals are primarily located on the left side and in the center of the periodic table.

Front

What type of bond is formed between Magnesium (Mg) and Oxygen (O)?

Back

Ionic bond.

Front

How many valence electrons does Oxygen have in its Lewis dot model?

Back

Oxygen has 6 valence electrons.

Front

Do ionic bonds exist between a metal and a non-metal?

Back

True.

Front

What is the correct formula for Ammonia?

Back

NH₃.

Front

Define ionic bonding.

Back

Ionic bonding is the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, typically formed when electrons are transferred from one atom to another.

Front

Define covalent bonding.

Back

Covalent bonding is the sharing of electron pairs between atoms, typically occurring between non-metal atoms.

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 Lewis dot structure?

Back

A Lewis dot structure is a diagram that shows the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the lone pairs of electrons that may exist.

Front

What is the significance of valence electrons in bonding?

Back

Valence electrons determine how an atom can bond with other atoms; they are involved in the formation of chemical bonds.
