17 Chemical Bonding Flashcards
attraction between two or more atoms
chemical bonds
electrons are the key to their ability to bond
chemical bonds
shiny elements; good conductors of electricity
metals
giant structure; atoms regular in pattern
metals
left-hand side (groups 1 and 2), middle (transition)
metals
electrons from outer shell of metal atoms become delocalized (free to move)
metallic bonding
strong ________ between positive ions and negative delocalized electrons results in strong metallic bonds
electrostatic attraction
strong attraction between oppositely-charged ions
metals and non-metals
react together to form ionic bonds
metals and non-metals
undergo metallic bonding
metals
metal atoms become positively-charged ions by losing electrons
ionic bonding
non-metal atoms become negatively-charged ions by gaining electrons
ionic bonding
oppositely-charged ions are very strongly attracted to each other
electrostatic attraction
ionic compounds are composed of regular repeating structure of ions
ionic lattice
held together by electrostatic attraction
ionic lattice
