Bonding and structure Flashcards
1
Q
Ionic bonding
A
The electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
2
Q
Covalent bonding
A
A bond formed by a shared pari of electrons
3
Q
Dative covalent bond
A
A shared paired of electrons which has been provided by one of the bonding atoms only.
4
Q
Electronegativity
A
A measure of the attraction of a bonded atom for the pair of electrons in a covalent bond.
5
Q
Hydrogen bonding
A
A strong dipole-dipole attraction between an electron-deficient hydrogen atom on one molecule and a lone pair of electrons on a highly electronegative atom on a different molecule.
6
Q
Metallic bonding
A
The electrostatic attraction between positive metal ions and delocalised electrons.
