5 Questions
What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonding?
Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of ions, while covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons between atoms.
How can you classify the bonding in a compound as ionic or covalent?
The classification is based on the difference in electronegativity between the atoms involved in the bond. If the electronegativity difference is large, the bond is ionic; if it is small, the bond is covalent.
What is chemical bonding and what does it result in?
Chemical bonding refers to the formation of a chemical bond between two or more atoms, molecules, or ions, resulting in the formation of a chemical compound.
Define a chemical bond.
A chemical bond is an attraction between atoms that enables the formation of an element or compound.
What is the attractive force that holds various constituents together in a compound?
The attractive force is the chemical bond, which holds various constituents (atoms, ions, etc.) together in a compound.
