Ionic, Covalent and Metallic Bonding

Front

What color indicates the nonmetals?

Back

Red

Front

How are covalent bonds formed?

Back

By atoms sharing some of their electrons.

Front

Atoms are most stable when their outer electron level is complete. True or False?

Back

True

Front

Which type of bonding does this diagram represent? (Covalent, Ionic, Metallic, None of these)

Back

Ionic

Front

How are ionic bonds formed?

Back

By electron transfer from one atom to another.

Front

Define ionic bonding.

Back

Ionic bonding is the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.

Front

What is a covalent bond?

Back

A covalent bond is formed when two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons.

Front

What is metallic bonding?

Back

Metallic bonding is the attraction between metal ions and delocalized electrons.

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 are the properties of ionic compounds?

Back

Ionic compounds typically have high melting and boiling points, are soluble in water, and conduct electricity when dissolved.
