Bonding Flashcards
what is a covalent bond?
a chemical bond that involves sharing a pair of electrons between atoms in the molecule
what is an ionic bond?
is bonding in which there has been a transfer of electrons from one atom to another to produce ions. The substance is held together by strong electrical attractions between positive and negative ions
what type of bonding takes place between a metal and a non-metal?
ionic
what type of lattice does ionic bonding produce?
ionic lattice
what type of bonding takes place between two non-metals?
covalent
what types of lattice does covalent bonding produce?
molecular and giant lattice
what is the difference in relation to boiling and melting points of the two lattices?
molecular has low melting and boiling points where as a giant lattice has high melting and boiling points
what are the forces within a molecular lattice?
week inter-molecular forces
what are the forces within a giant lattice?
strong covalent bonds
what is the difference in relation to the amount of energy that each one of these lattices has?
molecular has little energy and giant lattice has more energy
what type of bonding takes place between metals?
metallic
what type of lattice does metallic bonding produce?
metallic lattice
