1.1 Chemical Bonding Flashcards
What is covalent bonding
When two atoms of nonmetallic elements joined together by sharing electrons
What happens when two or more elements react together
A compound is formed
How do atoms of elements joined together
By sharing electrons or by transferring electrons to achieve stable electronic structures
When metal atoms lose electrons do they form positive or negative ions
Positive
Can you tell that compound H20 has covalent bonds
Is made of non-metals
What is ionic bonding
When oppositely charged ions attract each other in the ionic compound
When atoms of non metals gain electrons do they form positive or negative ions
negative
In a periodic table the group number is the same as…
…the number of electrons in the highest occupied energy level (outer-shell)
What is an ion
Charged particle produced by the loss or gain of electrons
