1
Q
Ionic Bonds
A
This is the stealing of electrons between elements to fill the outer shell.
2
Q
Charges after ionic bonding
A
The element with the electron being taken will have a -1 charge. The element gaining a proton will have a +1 charge.
3
Q
Bonding happens to create…
A
Stability
4
Q
Atoms are more stable when…
A
Their outer shell is full (8 valence electrons)
5
Q
Nonmetals gain or lose electrons
A
lose
6
Q
Metals gain or lose electrons
A
gain
7
Q
Electronegativity
A
Measures how strongly atoms attracts NEW bonding electrons to themselves.
8
Q
The electronegativity get weaker to stronger moving
A
left to right and down to up
9
Q
Covalent bonds
A
Sharing/fighting of valence electrons
10
Q
non polar covalent bonds
A
This is where all the charges are neutral
11
Q
Polar covalent bonds
A
There is a difference in the charges
