Front

Define ionic bonding.

Back

Ionic bonding is the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, typically formed when electrons are transferred from one atom to another.

Front

Define covalent bonding.

Back

Covalent bonding is the sharing of electron pairs between atoms, typically occurring between nonmetals.

Front

What is a cation?

Back

A cation is a positively charged ion that has lost one or more electrons.

Front

What is an anion?

Back

An anion is a negatively charged ion that has gained one or more electrons.

Front

What is the octet rule?

Back

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