Chemistry Flashcards
What type of bonding involves the transfer of electrons between atoms?
Ionic bonding
In ionic bonding, which type of atoms tend to lose electrons?
Metal atoms
In ionic bonding, which type of atoms tend to gain electrons?
Non-metal atoms
What type of bonding involves the sharing of electrons between atoms?
Covalent bonding
In covalent bonding, how do atoms achieve a full outer shell of electrons?
By sharing electrons
True or False: Covalent bonds are stronger than ionic bonds.
False
What is the term for a covalent bond where electrons are shared equally between atoms?
Nonpolar covalent bond
What is the term for a covalent bond where electrons are shared unequally between atoms?
Polar covalent bond
What type of bonding occurs in molecules like water (H2O)?
Polar covalent bonding
What is the charge of an ion that has gained electrons?
Negative charge
What is the charge of an ion that has lost electrons?
Positive charge
What type of bonding occurs in compounds like sodium chloride (NaCl)?
Ionic bonding
What is the resulting structure of an ionic compound?
A lattice structure
What is the term for a group of atoms held together by covalent bonds?
Molecule
What is the term for a group of atoms held together by ionic bonds?
Ionic compound
In an ionic bond, where are electrons transferred from?
From the metal atom to the non-metal atom
In a covalent bond, where are electrons shared?
Between the atoms
What is the term for a compound that contains both ionic and covalent bonds?
Coordination compound
What type of bonding occurs in compounds like methane (CH4)?
Covalent bonding
What is the term for a bond formed by the attraction between positively and negatively charged ions?
Ionic bond
