bonding Flashcards
what are ions
when atoms lose or gain electrons
what is the equation for when sodium looses an electron
Na—-> Na+ + e -
what’s the equation for when chlorine gains and electron
Cl + e- —-> Cl-
what is ionic bonding
transfer of electrons between a metal and a non mental
what do you always include when drawing ionic bonding
square brackets
charge in right corner
one element has dots
one has crosses
what is there between oppositely charged ions
electrostatic attraction
are the bonds between ionic compounds strong or weak?
strong
What do metals lose to become a positive ion
Electron
what’s covalent bonding
sharing electrons between 2 non metals
where do you draw the shared electrons in covalent bonding
in the middle
what is the displayed formula of cl cl
Cl - Cl
what are the advantages and disadvantages of displayed formula
advantage
easy to draw big molecules
dosent show shape size or structure or wh here the electron came from
what to simple molecular substances contain
strong covalent bond
low boiling point (weak intermolecular forces)
can they conduct electricity
no simple molecule substances cannot as rhere is no free electron
what is metallic bonding
strong electrostatic attraction between postive metal ions and negative electrons
