BONDING Flashcards
what is ionic bonding between?
metal and non-metal
ionic bonding definition
the transferring of electrons from one atom to another in order to achieve a full outer shell
lose electron = what charge
positive
gain electron, what charge
negative
how would u write 2 electrons being lost
2+
diagrams used in ionic bonding
dot-and-cross diagrams
if calcium needs 2 electrons and chlorine needs 1, what do u do?
make it one calcium bonded to 2 chlorine
what is covalent bonding between?
non-metal and non-metal
what happens to electrons in covalent bonding?
they are SHARED
20 first elements rule for covalent bonding
atom puts in what the want back as extra
how is a double bond written?
with 2 lines
how is a single bond written?
with 1 line
how is a triple bond written?
3 lines
1 pair= what bond
1 pair= single bond
ionic bonding features
- soluble in water (not organic solvents)
- conducts electricity in water (as mobile)
- giant ionic structure
- crystal lattice// regularly arranged
- strong electrostatic forces
- HIGH melting and boiling points
