What are the electrons called that are involved in chemical bonding?

Whenever two atoms or ions are strongly held together, we say there is a chemical bond between them.

Which of the following are the three general types of chemical bonds?

This type of bond occurs due to oppositely charges ions bonding together and creating an attraction bond:

This type of bond occurs due to the sharing of valence electrons since neither atom willingly gives up any electrons:

This type of bond shares electrons but is only shared amongst the same element which is a metal.

NaCl is an example of a ___________ type of bond. 

H₂O is an example of a ___________ type of bond. 

Fe - Fe is an example of a ___________ type of bond. 

Write the electronic configuration of sulfur using the noble gas abbreviation. For example, Boron is [He]2s2-2p1; normally written as [He]2s²2p¹.

How many valence electron are in: [Ne]3s²3p⁴

Which element has the following electronic configuration: [Ne]3s²3p⁵

Atoms gain, lose and share electrons in order to emulate noble gases.

Atoms gain, lose and share electrons in order to emulate noble gases. This results in gaining, sharing or losing electrons in order to attain 8 valence electrons. What is the name of this rule.

An atom has the electron configuration 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p². How many valence electrons does the atom have?

Ionic bonds are formed by two elements that have low ionization affinity. 

Energy is release when ionic compounds are formed or broken apart.

Ionic compounds generally release energy when broken. Is this energy of the decomposition of the ions a positive or negative charge?

When bonds are broken, they release energy that holds them together. The opposite is also true. To form bonds, energy is required which are stored as the bonds. 

Lattice energy is the energy that is generated or required for ionic bonds to occur or break. In practice it represents 1 mole of the ionic compound breaking into 1 mole of each ion. 

Positive lattice energy is said to be:

Negative lattice energy is said to be:

Lattice energy decreases as the charges on the ions increase.

Arrange the ionic compounds NaF, CsI, and CaO in order of increasing lattice energy.

If two ions in two ionic compounds have the same charge, ex. 1+,1- and 1+,1- then the lattice energy is highest in smaller atoms. Example: NaF, and CsI both have ions with 1+,1- charges. Except, Na and F are higher up on the periodic table than Cs and I. Therefore, the higher up elements on the periodic table have the higher energy: Na and F.
