Bonding Flashcards
Bonding
only valence electrons involving bonding
Covalent bonding
2 or more atoms w/unpaired electrons move towards each other so outer orbits overlap and electrons are shared
naming convent bonds
H2O water NH3 ammonia CH4 methane
mono oi tri teta pent
relative molecular mass
add relative atomic mass of all the atoms win/ compound
unit = atomic mass unit
ionic bonding
atoms w/ unpaired electrons approach each other
one atom has much bigger electromagnetically than the other
ionic compounds
all metals form cations
work out charge of an element by looking at the valence
metallic bonding
a bond in which the nucleus of metal atoms are held together in a lattice surrounded by a sea of electrons
lattice
nuclue atoms
rigid structure
good conductors
electrons that can move around
