Name the three types of strong chemical bond.
Show answer
Ionic, covalent and metallic.
What particles are involved in ionic bonding?
Show answer
Oppositely charged ions (formed by transfer of electrons).
How do atoms bond in covalent bonding?
Show answer
Atoms share pairs of electrons.
In metallic bonding, atoms share ? electrons.
Show answer
delocalised
Which type of bonding occurs in compounds of metals with non-metals?
Show answer
Ionic bonding.
Which type of bonding occurs in compounds of non-metals?
Show answer
Covalent bonding (also found in most non-metallic elements).
Which type of bonding occurs in alloys?
Show answer
Metallic bonding (as in metallic elements).
What holds oppositely charged ions together in an ionic compound?
Show answer
Strong electrostatic forces of attraction between the positive and negative ions.
Are electrons transferred or shared in ionic bonding?
Show answer
Transferred — from the metal atom to the non-metal atom, forming oppositely charged ions.
