bonding Flashcards
when does an ionic bond occur?
between metals and non metals
when does a covalent bond occur?
between non metals
when does a dative covalent bond occur?
involves lone pair of electrons
when does a metallic bond occur?
between metals
define an ionic bond
a strong electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions
what is a giant ionic lattice?
structures of positively charged and negatively charged ions with strong electrostatic forces of attraction
what is the ionic bonding general rule?
if an element from group 1,2 or 3 reacts with an element in group 6 or 7 then the bonding is ionic
what is a dative covalent bond?
covalent bonds which are formed when both electrons are donated by only one of the atoms in the bond
what is a metallic bond?
a strong electrostatic force of attraction between the delocalised sea of electrons and positive ions
what are the properties of a metallic bond?
conduct heat and electricity because the delocalised electrons are free to move, high mp and bp as they require lots of energy to overcome
what are the lines in O=O
each line represents a pair of shared electrons
