Bonding and Naming Quiz Flashcards
Chemical Bond
Attractive force between atoms or ions that bind them together as a unit
Covalent Bonding
Electrons are shared
Nonmetal plus nonmetal
Ionic Bonding
Electrons are transferred
Metal plus nonmetal
Net charge is always zero
Metals transfer to nonmetals
Metallic Bonding
Each metal contributes electrons and the electrons flow between atoms
Metal plus metal
Low electronegativity so free to move
Chemical Formula
Smallest particle
Formula Unit
The chemical formula for an ionic compound, or the simplest whole number ratio of ions present in the crystalline structure
NaCl
Molecular Formula
CO2
Compound
Two types of elements is binary
More than two types of elements is ternary
Ion
One atom is monatomic ion
Two or more atoms is polyatomic ion
Type of Structure
Ionic is crystal lattice
Covalent is true molecules
Metallic is “electron sea” or lattice
Physical State
Ionic is solid
Covalent is solid, iquid, or gas
Metallic is solid
Melting Point
Ionic is high
Covalent is low
Metallic is very high
Solubility in Water
Ionic yes
Covalent usually not
Metallic no
Electrical Conductivity
Ionic is yes in solution or liquid
Covalent is no
Metallic is yes any form
Other Properties
Covalent is odorous
Metallic is malleable, ductile, and lustruous
Polar Covalent
Unequal attraction for shared electrons creating partially charged poles or asymmetrical electron density
Overlapping two orbitals and creating polar molecule
Non Polar Covalent
Electrons are shared equally or symmetrical electron density
Overlapping orbital
Most Bonds Are
A blend of ionic and covalent characteristics
Non Polar Covalent Bond
Bonding electrons shared equally between two atoms with no charge
Even sharing
