Chapter 1-4 Flashcards
A compound which is formed from a metal and a non-metal consists of …
Ions
In ionic bonding, the metal atoms lose electrons to form what
Positive ions
Atoms with full shells are…
Stable
When atoms lose or gain electrons they are trying to…
Fill their outer shell
When metals form ions they gain what?
Electrons in their outer shell to form negative ions
Group 1 and 2 elements are metals and they lose electrons to form…
Positive ions (cations)
Group 6 and 7 are non metals. They gain electrons into…
Their outer shell to form negative ions(anions)
What is the ionic equation:
Sodium atom is in group 1 so it loses an electron
Na = Na+ +e-
Covalent bonding:
Are the metals which share pairs of electrons metal or non-metal
Non- metal
Positively charged nuclei of the bonded atoms are attracted to…
By …
The shared pair of electrons by electrostatic forces
Use dot and cross to show bonding in covalent compounds.However,
It doesn’t show relative sizes of atoms or how the atoms are arranged in space
Lined structure connecting letters, has no 3D STRUCTURE however…
Shows covalent bonds with the lines
3D model shows the atoms, the covalent bonds and their arrangement. Name a disadvantage
Doesn’t show where the electrons in the bonds have come from
Diamond has a giant covalent structure, made up of carbon atoms .those strong covalent bonds take a lot of energy to break and give diamond a very high
Melting point
Diamond doesn’t conduct electricity because….
It has no free electrons or ions
