Name The Bonds
Laws and Rules
200

This type of bond is formed when two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons


Covalent Bond

200

A bond between a Metal and a Non-metal is usually classified as this

Ionic

200

According to the IUPAC rules, this suffix is added to the end of the second element in a binary ionic compound.


-ide

400

This term refers to an atom's tendency to want a full outer shell of eight valence electrons.


Octet Rule

400

This type of bond would form between two atoms of the exact same element, like O2 or Cl2.


Non-polar covalent 

400

These must be used in the name of a compound when the metal is a Transition Metal with more than one possible charge.


Roman Numeral

600

This is the name for a charged group of covalently bonded atoms that act as a single unit.


Polyatomic Ion

600

To determine if a bond is polar, non-polar, or ionic, you must calculate the difference in this atomic property.


Electronegativity

600

This theory is used to predict the 3D geometric shape of molecules based on electron repulsion.
