Q

Unstable

A

Atom’s valence shell is not full (less than 8 atoms), and will bond with other atoms

Q

Compound Formation

A

Occurs when 2 atoms of different elements bond, and they will keep doing so until it is stable

Q

Ionic Bonds

A

Between a metal and non-metal, ionic bonds gain/lose electrons, cations and anions typically form ionic bonds

Q

Ion

A

Charged atom. + charged= cation (less electrons) - charged= anion (more electrons) Metals form cations, nonmetals form anions

Q

Ionic Compounds

A

Make CRYSTALLINE solids, HIGH melting and boiling points, conduct when dissolved in water, not soluble in nonpolar liquid unlike in water

Q

Covalent Bonds

A

Between nonmetal and nonmetal, elements close in electronegativity tend to form covalent bonds, these bonds SHARE electrons (shared e- don’t belong to either atom)

Q

Covalent Compounds

A

Gases/liquids/solids, LOW melting and boiling points, poor conductors in all phases, most soluble in nonpolar liquid but not water

A

The attraction of an atom for shared e-, increase from L to R, high for nonmetals, low for metals

Q

Electronegativity Difference

A

0.4 or under= Nonpolar Covalent Bond, 1.7 or under= Polar Covalent Bond, anything higher= Ionic Bond

16
Q

Ionic Bonds

A

Between metal and nonmetal ions, result of electron transfer, large electronegativity difference (1.8 +)

17
Q

Type vs. Electronegativity

A

While a compound might appear to be ionic (or covalent), it could actually be a different compound based off of electronegativity

18
Q

Range and Categorization

A
  1. 4 and under: nonpolar covalent
  2. 5-1.7: polar covalent
  3. 8 +: ionic
