16 Questions
What is the term used for the sharing of valence electrons between two non-metals?
Polar covalent bond
Which type of bond is formed between a metal (that loses electrons and becomes a cation) and a non-metal (that gains electrons and becomes an anion) through electron transfer?
Ionic bond
What is the main principle behind the Octet Rule in chemistry?
Atoms prefer to have 8 electrons in their valence shell for stability
In an ionic bond, what happens to the metal atom?
It loses electrons and becomes a cation
What type of bond is formed between two identical non-metal atoms?
Pure covalent bond
What is the term used for the bond between two different atoms with a difference in electronegativity less than 1.7?
Polar covalent bond
Which type of bond is formed between ammonia and hydrogen chloride?
Coordinate bond
What type of bond is responsible for the thick white smoke formed when ammonia and hydrogen chloride are mixed?
Coordinate bond
Which type of bond is responsible for the transfer of a hydrogen ion from chlorine to one of the lone pairs on the oxygen atom in the process of dissolving hydrogen chloride in water?
Coordinate bond
What type of bond is formed when the lone pair on the nitrogen of an ammonia molecule is used to fill the outer shell of boron trifluoride?
Coordinate bond
What type of bond defines the attractive force between the hydrogen atom attached to an electronegative atom of one molecule and an electronegative atom of a different molecule?
