5.2 Flashcards
Ionic bonds
nonmetal(higher electronegativity) takes electrons away from metals (lower negativity)
covalent bonds
forms molecules, atoms share or fight over electrons
non-polar covalent bonds
equal sharing of electrons (equal electronnegativity)
Polar covalent bonds
unequal bonds, one has more electronegativity than the other
Ionic bonds are formed with
non metals and metals
covalent bonds are formed with
nonmetals and metals
electronegativity
measure of how strongly atoms attract new bonding atoms to themselves
do metals or nonmetals have a higher electronegativity?
nonmetals
In ionic bonds opposite charges
attract
in covalent bonds the atoms ____ over electrons
fight or share
single bond vs double bond vs triple bond
single-1 pair of electrons
double- 2 pairs of electrons
triple-3 pairs of electrons
full valence shells are
full and stable
how does electronegativity determines what type of bond two atoms will form
large differences will cause ionic bonds, smaller differences cause ‘polar covalent bonds, and smallest differences will cause nonpolar covalent bonds
