Bonds Flashcards
chemical bonds
two atoms help together
ionic bond
brittle/hard to move: a total by opposite charge: usually a metal and a nonmetal
covalent
held together by sharing electrons: two nonmetals: not always equal sharing (polar molecule)
metallic bond
easy to bend and move: makes electricity easy: two metals: held together by everyone sharing electrons (sea of electrons)
highest melting point to lowest
metallic, ionic, covalent
highest boiling point
covalent
valence electrons
the outermost ring of electrons: each column has the same (1A, 2A…)
oxidation number
charge of the atom when the atom is stable metals
metals vs nonmetals
divided by the stair step lines materials to the below and nonmetals to the right: if it touches its a metalloid
atomic mass
as you go down and to the right they get heavier
atomic radius
(size of atom) as you go down you add more rings more size: as you go to the right they get smaller (more compact)
electronegativity
same trend: when bonded how selfish is the atom w/ the electron
ionization energy
same trend: how much energy you need to give up an electron
electron affinity
same trend: how much energy is released when the atom gains an electron
trend for electron, ionization, electronegativity
right and up: fluorine has the most
