Bonding Flashcards
Ionic bonding
Involves electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a lattice
Ionic formulas
Positive cation-metal, no name change
Negative anion-non metal, name change
Metallic bonding
Involves attraction between delocalised electrons and positive ions arranged in a lattice
Metal properties
Good conductors-delocalised electrons
Strong, malleable, ductile, high melting points
What does strength of metsllic bond depend on
The size and charge of the ion
Covalent bonds
Metal and non metal react to share electrons and attain full outer shells
Nucleinof each atombattracted to shared electron pair
What covalent bonds are strongest
1pair-longest and weakest
3 pairs-shortest and strongest
Dative covalent bond
A covalent bond in which both ekectrons come from the same atom
- drawn with arrow in direction of electron movement not line
How to work out shape of molecules
Central atom Group/ outer electron number Charge Bonds Total Divide by 2=number of electron pairs Structure Look at 6 and 4 to wirk out lone pairs Shape Bond angle
Pair repulsion theory
Outer shell electron pairs arrange as far apart as possible to minimise repulsion
Lone pair-lone pair=greatest repulsion
Bond pair-bond pair=least repulsion
Form of electron pairs
As charge clouds that repel each other
Molecular shapes
Linear-180• Trigonal planar-120• Tetrahedral-109.5 Trigonal bipyrimidal-120/90• Octahedral-90•
Electronegativity
The power of an atom to attract the pair of electrons in a covalent bond
Electronegativity patterns
Increases accross period
Decreases down group
Factors affecting electronegativity
Nuclear charge-more protons=stonger bp nucleus attraction
Atomic radius-closer bonding electrons,stronger attraction
Shielding-less shells shielding bp, sttonger force
