Bonding Flashcards
what type of elements are found in metallic bonding
Only metal elements
what type of elements are involved in Ionic bonding
found in compounds made from metals and non-metal elements (only compounds)
what type of elements are involved in covalent bonding
this is found in substances non-metal bonded to non-metal (elements and compounds)
what type of bonding only contains metals
elements which would be metallic bonding
describe a covalent bind
a covalent bond is usually between two non metal atoms. It is the attraction of positive nuclei for the shared pair of negatively charged electrons it is stable as opposite charges attract
what is an ionic bond
an ionic bond is between metal and non metal ions it is the electrostatic attraction between positive and negative ions. They form large ionic lattice structures
what to do to test if your compound is ionic (solubility)
Test the solubility of the compound in water. Many ionic compounds are soluble, so if your compound dissolves well, it could indicate that it is ionic.
testing if your compound is ionic(melting and boiling point)
ionic compounds generally melt at high temperatures due to the large amount of energy needed to break the strong bonds
