Question 29

Valence Electron

Answer 29

Electrons in the outermost shell of the atom that determine an atom's or group's ability to bond with others.

Question 30

Ionic Bond

Answer 30

A type of chemical bonding that involves the attraction between oppositely charged ions with sharply different electronegativities.

Question 31

Ionic Bond Formation

Answer 31

Formed when atoms gain or lose e-. Formed when electrons are transferred between atoms.

Question 32

Covalent Bond

Answer 32

Involves sharing electrons because both elements have high electronegativities.

Question 33

Covalent Bond formation

Answer 33

when the difference between the electronegativities of two atoms is too small for an electron transfer to occur to form ions, it rather shares electrons. The sharing can be equal (non-polar), or unequal (polar).

Question 34

Metallic Bond

Answer 34

Arises from the electrostatic attractive force between conduction electrons and positively charged metal ions. It may be described as the sharing of free electrons among a structure of positively charged ions.

Question 35

Metallic Bond Formation

Answer 35

Bonds between atoms in a metal held together by a crystalline lattice. (' In a sea of free electrons').

Question 36

The Octet Rule

Answer 36

Atoms are happy with a full valence shell. | Acheived by gaining or losing electrons.

Question 37

Ion

Answer 37

any atom or group of atoms that bears one or more positive or negative electrical charges.

Question 38

Cation

Answer 38

Positively charged ion

Question 39

Cation Formation

Answer 39

When an atom loses one or more electrons: the loss of the negatively-charged electron(s) results in an overall positive charge.

Question 40

Anion

Answer 40

Negatively charged ion

Question 41

Anion Formation

Answer 41

Are formed from the gain of one or more electrons.
