Bonding Flashcards
What is ionic bonding
An attraction between ions of opposite charge
What is a cation
An ion that is positive charge
What is an anion
A negatively charges ion
What is a covalent bond?
A covalent bond is a bond between non metal atoms, electrons shared in pairs
What is a metallic bond?
An attraction between delocalised electrons and the positive ions in a regular lattice.
What is an ion?
An ion is an atom that has that has lost/gain an electron to have a full outer shell.
What is a molecular ion?
A molecular ion is when two or more atoms are covalently bonded.
Why do noble gases not react?
They already have stable electronic structures.
What is a molecule
It contains two or more atoms covalently bonded
What is diatomic
Diatomic means that there are two atoms covalently bonded in the molecule.
