Why do all bonds form?
to fill the outermost energy level
so an atom can be unstable
so the number of protons and electrons can equal.
so they can gain neutrons.
Valence electrons are found
outermost energy level
innermost energy level
some where in the electron cloud
An atom with 1 valence electron 'needs' a full shell, so it can either gain 7 electrons or lose 1. Which is more likely to occur?
nothing
gain 7
lose 1
How do covalent bonds form?
by sharing electrons between atoms
by donating or receiving electrons
What two types of atoms make a covalent bond?
2 nonmetals
2 metals
1 metal and 1 nonmetal`
How many valence electrons does Boron have?
1
2
3
4
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a
positive ion
negative ion
Ionic bonds are between
metals and nonmetals
2 metals
2 nonmetals
Atoms are most stable when their outer shell is full or complete.
true
false
How are ionic bonds formed?
transfer of electrons
sharing of electrons
Group numbers on the periodic table help us determine
number of valence electrons
state of the element (solid, liquid, gas)
Electrons are involved in chemical reactions, not protons or neutrons.
true
false

molecular compound (covalent compound)
ionic compound
Salt is an example of what?
ionic compound
