4.1 Types Of Chem Bonds Flashcards
Define bond E
E required to break the bond
What is a chemical bond?
Forces that hold groups of atoms together and make them fn as a unit.
Ionic bonding
A result of the electro static attractions of oppositely charged ions
An atom that easily loses e- reacts with an atom that has a high affinity for e-
What type of compound results when a metal reacts with a nonmetal?
Ionic compound
Coulomb’s law
E=(2.31 x 10^-19 J nm)[(Q1 Q2)/r]
Where Q1 and Q2 are the numerical ion charges
r is the distance between the ion centers in nm
Angstroms =
10^-2 nm
1nm =
10 angstroms
When Coulomb’s law gives a negative answer
There is an attractive force: the ion pair has a lower E than the ions separately
If Coulomb’s law gives a positive E
That indicates a repulsive force
Define bond length
The distance between the atoms where the E in minimal
Covalent bond
e- shared by nuclei
What type of bond is formed when the atoms are not so different that they completely transfer e- but are different enough that unequal sharing results?
Polar covalent bond
