Q

What is Ionic Bonding?

A

Bonding where a metal bonds with a non-metal.

The Metal atom donates one or more electrons to the non-metal

Q

What are Properties of Ionic Bonds?

A

High Melting points (strong electro-static forces)
High Boiling points (strong electro-static forces)
Conductive as liquids or aqueous (mobile ions)
Soluble in polar solutions (ions attracted to polarity of molecules)

Q

What is Covelant Bonding?

A

Bonding between a two non-metals

The electrons are “shared” to achive a full outer shell

Q

What is “expanding the octet”?

A

When an element can accept over 8 electrons in their outer-shell when convelant bonding.
This is achived through filling the d sub-shell with the new electrons
