Atomic Structure and Bonding Flashcards
Why study bonding?
The type of bond allows us to explain a materials properties
Describe atomic structure
consists of a nucleus and electrons, the nucleus has protons and neutrons
Have more neutrons than protons
isotopes
The atomic number represents what
of protons and electrons
Most commonly used atomic model
Bohr Atomic Model
What kind of properties do electrons have?
wavelike and particulate properties
What determines energy level of orbital?
quantum numbers
electrons tend to
occupy the lowest available energy state
electrons available for bonding
valence electrons
order of quantum energy level
K, L, M, and N
What type of material experiences ionic bonding?
Ceramics
What type of material experiences covalent bonding
Polymers
What type of material experiences metallic bonding?
Metals
What is required for Ionic bonding
Large difference in electronegativity
Is ionic bonding directional?
no, it is nondirectional
