Bonding 1 Flashcards
What type of bond involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms?
Covalent bond
True or False: Ionic bonds are formed between metals and non-metals.
True
Fill in the blank: In metallic bonding, metal atoms release __________ to form a ‘sea of electrons’.
electrons
What type of bond is characterized by the transfer of electrons?
Ionic bond
Which type of bonding allows metals to conduct electricity?
Metallic bonding
In covalent bonding, how many electrons are typically shared between two atoms?
Two electrons (one pair)
What is ionic bonding
when an electron is transferred from one atom to the other, forming a positive-negative ion pair.
Describe the structure of a metallic bond.
Metal atoms in a lattice surrounded by a sea of delocalized electrons.
What type of bond typically forms between two non-metals?
Covalent bond
What is bonding in chemistry?
Bonding in chemistry refers to the interaction between atoms that allows the formation of chemical compounds.
What are the three main types of chemical bonds?
The three main types of chemical bonds are ionic bonds, covalent bonds, and metallic bonds.
True or False: Ionic bonds are formed by the sharing of electrons.
False
Fill in the blank: An ionic bond typically forms between a ______ and a nonmetal.
metal
What is a covalent bond?
A covalent bond is formed when two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons.
What is the main characteristic of ionic compounds?
Ionic compounds typically have high melting and boiling points and conduct electricity when dissolved in water.
What is a polar covalent bond?
A polar covalent bond is a type of covalent bond where the electrons are shared unequally between the two atoms.
Fill in the blank: In a metallic bond, atoms are held together by ______.
delocalized electrons

What is a molecule?
A molecule is a group of two or more atoms bonded together.
