1.2 - Bonding

Question 1

What is the definition of an ion?

Answer 1

is a charged particle formed when an atom gains or loses electrons

Question 2

What is the definition of a molecular ion?

Answer 2

is a charged particle containing more than one atom

Question 3

What is the definition of Cation?

Answer 3

positive ion

Question 4

What is the definition of Anion?

Answer 4

A negative ion

Question 5

What is the definition of ionic bonding?

Answer 5

involves attraction between oppositely charged ions (typically in metals).

Question 6

What is the definition of a single covalent bond?

Answer 6

a shared pair of electrons (typically occurs in non-metals)

Question 7

What is the definition of a double covalent bond?

Answer 7

two shared pair of electrons (typically occurs in non-metals)

Question 8

What is the definition of a triple covalent bond?

Answer 8

three shared pair of electrons (typically occurs in non-metals)

Question 9

What is the definition of a lone pair?

Answer 9

a pair of electrons which do not take part in bonding

Question 10

What is the definition of a molecule?

Answer 10

two or more atoms covalently bonded

Question 11

When does metallic bonding occur?

Answer 11

metallic bonding results from the attraction between the positive ions in a regular lattice and the delocalised electrons.

Question 12

What is metallic bonding?

Answer 12

The attraction between the positive metal ions and the sea of free moving (delocalised) electrons in a regular lattice.
Delocalised electrons are electrons are electrons that are free to move throughout the whole structure.
