Ionic and Covalent Bonds v.2

Front

What are ionic bonds?

Back

Ionic bonds are chemical bonds formed between a metal and a non-metal, where electrons are transferred from one atom to another.

Front

What happens to electrons during ionic bonding?

Back

During ionic bonding, electrons are taken from one atom and given to another, resulting in the formation of charged ions.

In covalent bonding, electrons are shared between two non-metal atoms.

Front

What charge does an electron have?

Back

An electron has a negative charge.

Front

What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonds?

Back

Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons and the formation of ions, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons.

Front

Can ionic bonds form between two non-metals?
