What kind of electrons are involved with chemical bonding?
Valence electrons
What is a chemical bond?
The force of attraction that hold atoms or ions together in a chemical substance.
Types of bonds
- ionic
- compound
- covalent
Ionic bond
Metal + non-metal
Electrons are transferred
1.7 EN
Covalent Bond
Non-metal + non-metal
Electrons are shared equally and non equally
0-0.4 0.4-1.7 EN
Metallic Bond
Metal + metal
Sea of electrons
1.7< EN
When electrons are shared equally
Polar
Non polar
When electrons are shared equally
Ionic bonds are commonly called
Salts
Ionic bonds form when…
Electrons transfer from one atom to another due to large differences in electromagnitivity and ionization energy
Ionic bonds are isoelectric with noble gases..
When atoms gain or lose electrons to have the same amount as the nearest noble gas.
Most stable valence of electrons is…
An octet (8)
Which element is the exception of not having an octet?
He, 2 valence electrons
In ionic bonds, metals..
Lose electrons to be like the closest noble gas (isoelectric)
In ionic bonds, nonmetals…
Gain electrons to become like the closest noble gas (isoelectric)
If the EN is greater than 1.7, then…
