bonds Flashcards
what is energy taken in for
to break existing chemical bonds
what is energy released for
when new bonds are made
what is the 🔼H In terms of making and breaking bonds
the difference between the energy taken in when bonds are broken and the energy given out when new bonds are made
what does a positive delta H mean in making and breaking bonds
endothermic reaction
what does a negative delta H mean in making and breaking bonds
exothermic reaction
what does ionic boning occur between
metals and non metals
what does ionic bonding involve
the transfer of electrons from the metal atom to the non metal atom, so the non metal becomes will become positive and the metal negative
what does ionic boning cause the metal and non metal to be
attracted to each other as they are oppositely charged
what is covalent bonding
2 non metals and the sharing of electrons
why is covalent bonding so strong
because of the electrostatic attraction between the 2 positive nuclei and their shared negative electrons
