Types of Chemical Bonds Review

Front

What prevents noble gases from forming bonds?

Back

Noble gases have a full valence shell (8 electrons), making them stable and unlikely to bond.

What is the VSEPR shape of a molecule with two bonding pairs and one lone pair?

Back

The VSEPR shape is bent.

Identify the cation and anion in Sodium Chloride (NaCl).

Back

Sodium (Na) is the cation (positive metal) and Chlorine (Cl) is the anion (negative nonmetal).

Front

What does the symbol N with a 3- charge indicate?

What is an ionic bond?

Back

An ionic bond is formed when one atom transfers electrons to another, resulting in oppositely charged ions that attract each other.

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 electronegativity?

Back

Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract electrons in a chemical bond.

What type of bond is formed between two nonmetals?

Back

A covalent bond is formed between two nonmetals.

Front

What is the octet rule?

Back

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