1
Q
Ionic bonding?
A
Electrostatic attraction between positive and negative ions.
2
Q
Covalent bonding?
A
Strong electrostatic attraction between a shared pair of electrons and the nuclei of the bonded atoms.
3
Q
Electronegativity?
A
The ability of an atom to attract the bonding electrons in a covalent bond
4
Q
Hydrogen bonding?
A
Intermolecular bonding between molecules containing N, O or F and the H atom of -NH, -OH or HF
5
Q
Metallic bonding?
A
The strong electrostatic attraction between positive ions and negatively charged delocalised electrons in a regular lattice.
6
Q
Dative covalent bond?
A
