2.3 Types of Bonds Flashcards
1
Q
What is an ionic bond?
A
A bond that attracts a metal and nonmetal together, high + low EN.
2
Q
What is polar covalent bond?
A
Covalent means they share electrons. Polar covalent is more specific, meaning they have two opposite ends of EN that still share electrons/
3
Q
What is nonpolar covalent?
A
Nonpolar means that the elctrons are being shared equally between the atoms.
4
Q
What happens to ionics in water?
A
They separate quickly
5
Q
What happens to covalents in water?
A
They disperse from eachother but stay connected within the individual atoms.
6
Q
Match the electronegativity (EN) to the bond.
POLAR
NONPOLAR
IONIC
(DIFFERENT EN BUT STILL SHARES ELECTRONS)
(HIGH + LOW EN)
(SAME EN)
A
POLAR -> DIFFERENT BUT STILL SHARES
NONPOLAR ->SAME EN
IONIC -> HIGH + LOW
