Atomic Bonding Flashcards
Type of bond that involves the complete transfer of valence electrons from one atom to another
Ionic
Type of bond that leaves one atom with a negative charge and the other with a positive charge
Ionic
Type of bond that is common in metals
Ionic
Type of bond that is common in acids and bases
Ionic
Type of bond that involves equal sharing of electrons
Covalent
Type of bond that can single, double, or triple, depending on the number of electrons shared
Covalent
Type of bond in which atoms share electrons, but the electrons tend to remain closer to one atom than the other
Polar covalent
How does the polar covalent bond of water affect the molecule’s solvent properties?
Water is unable to dissolve non-polar substances (fat, oil) because the molecule is only attracted to other polar molecules
Weak intermolecular force that holds molecules of the same type together
Van der Waals forces
List the types of chemical bonds in order from strongest to weakest.
