Bonding Flashcards
1
Q
Intermolecular forces
A
Force of attraction between molecules molecules, ions, or atoms of noble gases
2
Q
Intramolecular bonds
A
A bond which occurs between atoms within molecules
3
Q
Covalent bonding
A
Is a sharing of at least one pair of electrons by two non-metal atoms
4
Q
Non-polar covalent
A
- eneg difference = 0
- is an equal sharing of bonding electrons
- e.g. H2, I2
5
Q
Polar covalent
A
- Is the unequal sharing of electrons leading to a dipole forming
- eneg diff 0,1-1,7
6
Q
Ionic bonding
A
- Total transfer of electrons and the subsequent electrostatic attraction
- eneg diff = >1,8
7
Q
Metallic bonding
A
Is the force of attraction between the sea of delocalised negative electrons and the positive metal ions (kernals)
8
Q
Electronegativity
A
A measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons
