Bonding Flashcards
Ionic bonding
Transferring electrons between metal and non metal atoms
Covalent bonding
Sharing electrons between two non metal atoms
Metallic bonding
Share free electrons between two metal atoms
Compounds
Atoms which have formed bonds with each other by chemical reactions
Electrostatic attraction
The attraction between oppositely charged atoms
Ionic bonds
Electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions
Intermolecular forces
Weaker bonds between multiple atoms of the same molecule
Simple molecular structure
Covalent bonds between the same element
Giant covalent structure
Regular lattice made by covalently bonded atoms
Regular repeating lattices
The same formation of atoms repeated in a lattice form
Malleability
Ability to be bent / hammered into shapes
Ductile
Ability to be drawn into wires
Sonorous
Makes a sound when hit
Ion
Atom or group of atoms with an electric charge due to transferring electrons
Cations
Positive ions
Ations
Negative ions
S+
Slighty positive ion
S-
Slightly negative ion
Delocalised
Not in a fixed position
