Bonding 2 Flashcards
Electrostatic attraction is when _ are attracted to each other
Two oppositely charged objects
_ occur when two atoms are connected to each other by electrostatic attraction
Ionic bonds
Ionic bonds happen between a _ and a _
Metal cation
Nonmetal anoin
Metals have fewer _ than nonmetals
Valence electrons
To complete octet, metals tend to lose
Valence electrons
Energy required to remove an electron from a neutral atom is called its
Ionization energy
When you add ionization energy to a metal atom metal will _ and become a metal cation
Lose an electron
Nonmetals have more valence electrons and tend to _ to complete their octet
Gain Valence electrons
Energy given off by an atom when it gains electrons is called its
Electron affinity
Electron affinity is the energy given off by an atom when
It gains electrons
A nonmetal atom will _ to fill its valence shell, making it a nonmetal anion plus energy
Add an electron
A nonmetal will add an electron to fill its valence shell, making it a
Nonmetal anion plus energy
To make table salt, sodium donates its one electron to,
Chlorine’s 7 electrons
By sodium donating its one valence electron to chlorine’s 7 valence electron
It ionically bonds to create table salt
