Chemical Bond
The force holding atoms together in a compound or molecule
Types of Bonds
Ionic
Covalent (polar/nonpolar)
Metallic
Octet Rule
Atoms tend to lose or gain electrons to obtain the same electron configuration as a noble gas
Cations
Atoms who lose electrons
Metals
Positive Charge
Anions
Atoms that gain electrons
Nonmentals
Negative Charge
Ionic Bond
The electrostatic forces that bring a cation and anion together.
A transfer of electrons that results in a positive and negative ion
Ionic Bonds … Known as..
Salts
Ionic bond electronegativity is …
greater than two
Properties of ionic compounds
Soluble in water
Conduct electric current in molten or soluble state
High melting points
Metallic Bonds
form when metal atoms crowd together and valence shells overlap
Valence electrons in metallic bonds
Become “delocalized”
Like a “sea of electrons” flowing through positively charged metal ions
Properties of metals
Conduct electricity
Malleable and ductile
Insoluble
Ions
charged particles
Monatomic Ion
formed when a single atom has gained or lost electrons
