Front

What is electronegativity?

Back

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

Front

Do atoms with low electronegativities hold onto their electrons tightly?

Back

False. Atoms with low electronegativities do not hold onto their electrons tightly.

Front

What type of bond is formed when different atoms share electrons?

Back

Covalent bond.

Front

What type of bond is formed when different atoms lose or transfer electrons?

Back

Ionic bond.

Front

Which type of bond is typically formed between nonmetals with similar electronegativities?

Back

Covalent bond.

Front

What is an ionic bond?

Back

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.

Front

What is a covalent bond?

Back

A covalent bond is a type of chemical bond where two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons.

Front

What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonds?

Back

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

Front

What happens to electrons in a metallic bond?

Back

In a metallic bond, electrons are shared among a lattice of metal atoms, allowing them to move freely.

Front

What is the significance of electronegativity in bonding?

Back

Electronegativity determines how strongly an atom attracts electrons, influencing the type of bond formed.
