Bonding Flashcards
Valence electrons are xxx when forming a bond
Lost, gained, or shared
Bond
An attraction force
What type of attraction is needed to create a bond?
Proton - electron
Intramolecular bond
Bonds between atoms in a molecule
3 types of intramolecular bonds
1) Ionic
2) Covalent
3) Metallic
Ionic bond
The direct transfer of an electron from the metal to the nonmetal forms an ionic bond
Easiest way to identify an ionic bond?
Metal bonded to a nonmetal
Melting points of salts?
Extremely high
Ionic bonds create extremely…
Strong bonds
Electronegativity differences in ionic bonds?
Large END, greater than or equal to 1.7
The greater the END, the
More ionic character
Ionic don’t form a distinct molecule. What do they form?
Extended structures or crystals
Conductivity of ionic compounds
- Do NOT conduct in the solid phase
- Do conduct in the liquid state or when they’re dissolved in water
Why do ionic compounds conduct?
Due to free flowing ions when bonds break
Covalent bonds
Involve the sharing of electrons between nonmetals only
2 types of covalent bonds
1) Nonpolar covalent
2) Polar covalent
Nonpolar covalent bonds
Equal sharing of electrons between the same nonmetal element
END in nonpolar covalent bonds
= 0 since it’s the same element on either side of the bond
Examples of nonpolar covalent bonds
H2, F2, Cl2, Br2
What does the dot diagram of hydrogen look like?
H - H (does not complete the octet and can never form more than 1 bond)
