Front

What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonding?

Back

Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons, while covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons.

Front

What is a covalent bond?

Back

A covalent bond is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.

Front

What is an ionic bond?

Back

An ionic bond is a chemical bond formed through the transfer of one or more electrons from one atom to another.

Front

What is a molecule?

Back

A molecule is a group of two or more atoms bonded together by covalent bonds.

Front

What is a compound?

Back

A compound is a substance formed when two or more different elements are chemically bonded together.

Front

What is electronegativity?

Back

Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons.
