Chemical Bonding

Front

What is an ionic bond?

Back

A bond that forms when electrons are gained or lost between atoms, resulting in the formation of charged ions.

Front

Where are valence electrons found?

Back

In the outermost energy level of the atom.

Front

What is the charge of an aluminum ion with 13 protons and 10 electrons?

Back

3+.

Front

What happens to an atom that gains or loses an electron?

Back

It becomes an ion.

Front

What type of bond forms when atoms share electrons?

Back

Covalent Bond.

Front

Define a covalent bond.

Back

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

Front

What is the role of valence electrons in bonding?

Back

Valence electrons are involved in forming bonds between atoms.

Front

What is an ion?

Back

An atom or molecule that has a net electrical charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons.

Front

What is the difference between an ionic bond and a covalent bond?

Back

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

Front

What is a molecule?

Back

A group of two or more atoms bonded together.
