1. Introduction Flashcards
Intramolecular bond
intramolecular bond as a bond occurring between atoms within molecules
Electronegativity
electronegativity as a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons
Covalent bonds
as a sharing of at least one pair of electrons by two atoms
Non-polar covalent
Polar covalent
Non - polar covalent (pure covalent)
Non - polar covalent (pure covalent) is an equal sharing of electrons
Polar covalent
Polar covalent is unequal sharing of electrons leading to a dipole forming (as a result of electronegativity difference)
Ionic Bond
ionic bond as a transfer of electrons and subsequent electrostatic attraction
Know that ionic bonding is generally between metals (or ammonium ions) and non-metals
(or _____ ______)
Polyatomic bonding
Intermolecular force
as a weak force of attraction between molecules or between atoms of noble gases
